Does Rivian *really* have 7777 batteries inside?! - Battery Pack Teardown!

Get a new Rivian and 6 months of free charging on the Rivian Adventure Network HERE: www.rivian.com...
Today we find out if Rivian really installed 7777 batteries inside their Electric Truck. I've always been curious how many tiny batteries it takes to move a massive truck. And today we are with Munro Live to find out. Check out the 4680 battery teardown HERE: • What's Inside a Tesla ... they have a super cool channel. I was like a kid in a candy shop exploring all of the different electric vehicles Munro has taken apart. Super glad they let me come be a part of the battery module teardown.

[@CalumRaasay]

It's quite striking how simple it all is compared to a 4 wheel drive, combustion-engined equivielent. It would be cool to see the Rivian parts all laid out next to a completely disassembled Toyota Tacoma or a similarly sized pickup truck to the Rivian. Thanks for sharing Zach.

[@SarahH0g4n]

It's like a big electric toy truck.

[@Ryancady010]

In terms of how it works I would say it's simple. But when you account for the amount of engineering and time that was invested in the battery technology, I'm not so sure we could still say that.

[@longnamedude3947]

@@JorgTheElder Well, that is assuming that the batteries are more readily replaceable going forwards, because manufacturers won't be able to keep up with the demand from users to constantly replace worn down batteries on cars after 5-7 years, or roughly 250KM.

[@jimmyc1518]

You won't like EV innovation so much when it reaches it's pre-determined logical conclusion of a driverless dystopia where the car tells you where to go after you charge it for 8hrs. You'll long for the good ole days when you had auto autonomy fill your car up in a few minutes and hit the road jack.

You talked about recyclability but I wonder about repairability and how devastating it is to the battery system if a single cell or a couple of cells go bad.

[@ChazBword]

Man I've been watching your channel for so long. I know you get this a lot but your voice is justt so nice to listen to. And you explain things so well it makes the information very accessible for all.

[@Mutex30]

The minute Zack said "9 different battery modules", I was thinking: "It can't be 7777 batteries then, 7777 doesn't divide evenly by 9" (because 7+7+7+7=28 doesn't divide evenly by 3) I wonder if they added the flashlight specifically to make the number of batteries 7777 instead of 7776.

[@manuelkuriappan3195]

They did, I think Jerry said so in his first review of the Rivian at the 20 minute mark

[@drottle]

That’s genuinely amazing that 92% of a battery pack can be recycled! Not an electric vehicle fan but it’s really cool to see the development of them exponentially boom in the past decade!

[@theeaxleguy3313]

Some great shots in here of the Rivian/Bosch eAxles.

[@QALibrary]

5:50 I never seen so much active "water" cooling/heating for the battery before - the Rivian battery should last a long time and operate in temptures not liked by other batties

[@danielrose1392]

I have seen cells which have "more" cooling like some of the BMW ones, but I like the approach Rivian took with one flat cooling plate. Making all electrical connections on the top/outside, they probably manage a pretty good thermal conductivity to the cooling plate. I am sure the overall cooling performance will be great.

[@FrozenHaxor]

That's nothing, most Tesla packs have silicone ribbons with coolant channels inside snaking through between the cells, much more contact area than this.

[@coredumperror]

A Jerry/Munro crossover?! That's unexpectedly awesome!

[@Pihrana]

Loving this Collaboration !!

[@jacobf88]

This shows why electric vehicles are not yet ready to replace the combustion engine. The expense involved with repair is out of reach for most. If a cell goes bad you wouldn’t be able to replace the single cell. Love the direction we are headed though! Hopefully these things become more affordable and easier to repair.

[@robertjanbout1437]

Notice the placement of the magnets in the rotor of the motor, they are not on the surface but in the middle of the rotor. This type motor is called IPM and also used in the newer Tesla's

[@Rumeel12708]

With the tonneau cover I'm thinking they could of used the same window motor to bring up the boards as it pushes them as well, or else when it's retracting the boards, the same motor could push down the springs as they comeback in. Both ways precise enough to keep it all tight.

[@LawpickingLocksmith]

What is missing is Zack taking his lighter and burn every LCD and OLED screen at Munro's!

[@thedarkknight1971]

Coupla notes Zack, they be 21700 cells (21mm x 700mm), and, though drained to around 32 volts, it's not the voltage that kills (going on that static - from a car door, door nob etc - can be many tens of thousands of volts) it's the Amps, even 02. Amp (200 mA) CAN kill instantly... So, it depends on how many amps were still in that battery, hence the gloves and plastic tools I guess... 🤔😏 😎🇬🇧

[@theairaccumulator7144]

No, it has't gotten simpler at all, we've just developed far more complex fabrication technology that allows us to do these things in a more straightforward way. Compare a CRT to a LCD. The CRT is quite complicated in theory, because it's made out of simple things. The LCD is simpler in theory, but it would've been impossible to make a few decates back.

Don't you mean a discharged voltage of 360v and not 36v per module?

[@jorgecampos9659]

Those batteries are timebombs!

[@Dinesh-Bhardwaj]

Jack , still waiting for the an update on the Hummer EV.

[@sdmarlow3926]

Wasn't going to say anything at first, but... power from the batteries has to go thru the inverters before going to the motor (not a direct feed); and it's not 400 volts per batter pack, but closer to 44 volts (likely closer to 46), and then 9 in series gives you the 400 volts. *edit: 36 volts for a discharged pack makes sense, but it's not down from 400, rather the amp/hr capacity has been drained (so "no" current flow from handling them).

[@benglassop]

Power = Rate of energy transfer Energy = Stored capacity for work Cell = 1x 2170 Battery = Connected collection of Cells 👌

[@kiwirawks5500]

I am always amazed on how small a lot of EV batteries are. I have a Lightsaber prop that works of a 18650 and he just puts them in a car

I wish you could show the CSC PCB (Cell Supervison Circuit), so I could see which balancing IC they use :D

[@valdisgerasymiak1403]

Before you can count it: 3.6V x 5Ah x 7777 = 139986 Wh (just read the capacity and voltage on one battery)

Honda used the 2170 battery design....... until they decided thousands of tiny cells had a higher likelihood of failure. That's when they went to the Hitachi 7.5v flat cells. Currently the most reliable design.

That's pretty cool. The Rivian EV truck is very impressive. However the power retractable bed cover issue is very disappointing given how well designed the rest of the truck is. Rivian could not figure out that it should have a more powerful motor or maybe two motors on it? Sometimes things should be left manual. I have never heard of anybody having trouble with a manually retractable bed cover.

[@TilmanBaumann]

All this glue might not be a problem for recycling. But it sucks hard for re-use and re-purposing.

8000battery cells x 3.oo each 24 000.oo cost. A replacement would likely be 30k. New batterry every 3 yrs. So 10k per yr. That means that we can expect fuel costs to at least dbl so it makes sense to buy one of these. Better improve the range by at least 3 times
