Abstract
Electric scooters are increasingly popular for short-distance commuting. To improve the thermal safety, performance, and lifespan of their batteries, their heat needs to be managed. This study proposes a method for optimizing the air channels in a scooter battery pack. It includes an electro-thermal-degradation model for predicting the battery's electrical and thermal behaviors and capacity loss, a heat transfer model for predicting convective heat exchange between the battery and the air, and a genetic algorithm for structural optimization of an air-cooled battery thermal management system (BTMS). Unlike conventional optimization of a BTMS, the proposed algorithm aims to improve the electrical consistency, lifespan, and thermal safety of the battery via rapid global optimization of its air ducts. The optimization algorithm was tested on a 3P4S air-cooled battery pack from an electric scooter. It improved the pack's consistency of state of charge (SOC) and its lifespan by reducing its heat and temperature gradient. Under on-design conditions, the optimized air ducts reduced the maximum pack temperature by 0.45°C and the difference between the average temperatures of the cells in a branch to 15.9% that of the original pack. Moreover, the optimized air ducts decrease the SOC difference by 81.1% and improved the state of health by 0.03%. Hence, the proposed air duct optimization method can improve the pack's thermal performance, SOC distribution, and lifespan under off-design conditions.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
