Liquid cooling is a technique that involves circulating a coolant, usually a mixture of water and glycol, through a system to dissipate heat generated during the operation of batteries. This is in stark contrast to air-cooled systems, which rely on the ambient and internally (within an enclosure) modified air to cool the battery cells. Liquid
