Ask the Expert: Mild Hybrid Electrical Vehicles Tap 48-Volt Batteries

Oct. 5, 2021
The auto industry is developing a new, improved electrical system using 48-volt batteries, which are initially being incorporated into “mild hybrid” electrical vehicles, or MHEVs. Learn more about the role 48-volt batteries play in MHEVs.

Over the years, auto manufacturers have continued to add more electrical and electronic equipment to their vehicles. However, these new accessories have stretched most 12-volt vehicle electrical systems to their limit. The industry is responding by developing a new, improved electrical system using 48-volt batteries, which are initially being incorporated into “mild hybrid” electrical vehicles, or MHEVs.

Download now to learn what Jay Nagle, onsemi Senior Engineer for the Power Solutions Group Division, has to say about the role 48-volt batteries play in the operation of these new MHEVs.
