Plastic Breather Valve for Battery Packs

Model: PUWKK8.5-4.5-17

The Plastic Breather Valve for Battery Packs is a critical component designed to enhance safety and performance in electric vehicles. These valves are engineered to maintain optimal pressure balance within the battery enclosure, ensuring stable operation under varying conditions. Made from durable plastic materials, they offer excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental factors, with protection ratings up to IP68.
Product Details

PUW Plastic Breather Valves are precision-engineered for modern battery systems, especially lithium-ion battery packs used in electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems, and portable electronics. These valves help manage internal pressure changes while providing waterproof, dustproof, and chemical-resistant protection, thereby ensuring battery safety, reliability, and performance over time.

Why Battery Packs Need Breather Valves

As battery packs operate and charge/discharge, internal heat causes air expansion, increasing internal pressure. Without venting, this may lead to:

  • Housing deformation or rupture

  • Moisture ingress and condensation

  • Electrochemical degradation

  • Short circuits and safety risks

PUW’s breather valves offer automatic pressure equalization while keeping water, dust, oil, and gases out. This is crucial for:

  • Longer battery life

  • Reduced failure rates

  • Improved thermal and structural safety

Key Features of PUW Plastic Breather Valve

High Weather Resistance

Designed to withstand UV rays, rain, temperature shifts, and harsh outdoor conditions. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor battery systems.

Excellent Structural Strength

Made from durable plastics with reinforced construction. Vibration-proof, impact-resistant — ideal for electric vehicles and industrial batteries.

Long Service Life

Low-maintenance design with high-performance membranes ensures stable performance over time, even in demanding environments.

Customizable Options

Support for various materials (PA66, PC, PP, etc.), colors, thread types, vent sizes, and membrane characteristics (hydrophobic/oleophobic). Logo and packaging can also be customized for OEM/ODM projects.

Working Principle – Intelligent Venting, Superior Protection

PUW breather valves integrate a microporous PTFE membrane inside a protective plastic housing. This structure enables:

  • Air pressure balancing: Allows air and gas to flow in/out

  • Water & dust barrier: Blocks contaminants (IP67–IP68 rated)

  • Thermal adaptation: Protects against heat-induced swelling or shrinkage

  • Chemical resistance: Durable in acid/alkali environments often present in batteries

The result is a more reliable, longer-lasting, and safer battery pack.

Application Fields

PUW plastic breather valves are widely used in battery pack enclosures for:

Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Battery modules in electric cars, e-bikes, scooters. Maintain enclosure stability under high-speed, high-temp conditions.

Energy Storage Systems (ESS)

Stationary lithium battery storage, power walls, solar backup systems. Reduce condensation risk and increase safety.

Consumer Electronics

Power banks, laptops, tablets. Keep moisture out and prolong battery health.

Industrial Batteries

AGVs, forklifts, backup power units. Withstand industrial-level vibration and temperature changes.

Outdoor Battery Boxes

Telecom batteries, surveillance power systems. Prevent fogging and water damage in exposed environments.
