Our experiment showed that the thermal control module could decrease the wall temperature of the battery efficiently restricting it below 40 a reduction of over 10 compared with that without thermal controlwhich met the favorable operation temperature range for lithium-ion battery. Comparison of performance between the thermal control module and heat pipe itself showed better performance of heat dissipation and temperature uniformity by using the thermal control module. Additionallyresearch with FEM simulation software Fluent on the influence of forced convection fins and geometry of the evaporator of U-shape heat pipe on the performance of module was conducted. Forced convection fins could obviously enhance the performance of the moduleand geometry of the evaporator of the U-shape heat pipe could affect the temperature field of the battery. When the ratio of vertical length to horizontal length was 1best thermal control performance could be ac
