Battery Junction Box
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Infiniti Q50. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The battery junction box is installed inside the battery pack.
- The battery junction box contains the system main relays for supply of DC electrical power from the Li-ion battery, as well as the current sensor which measures the DC current.
- A system main relay is installed on both the positive side and negative side. They supply DC power to the high-voltage components. They also supply DC power to the Li-ion battery during motor regeneration and charging.
- When a system malfunction occurs, the system main relays immediately turn OFF based on the command from the HPCM (Hybrid Power-train Control Module), shutting off the Li-ion battery in order to ensure safety.
