This report basically discussed about a project of designing a cooling system of battery for application of hybrid electric vehicle. Currently, the temperature of the battery will easily reach beyond the range of optimum operating temperature due to internal resistance within battery cells and climate factor. Main objective for this project is to design a cooling system that will reduce and maintain temperature of battery at minimum value. This project concentrates on designing and fabricating the battery box that can be used to reduce and maintain the temperature of battery. This project involves fabricating actual size model for the battery box that will be used to encase Lithium-ion battery. The desired result from this project is the value of battery temperature that can be reduced by using this system. The result obtained by using this cooling system showed a battery temperature that has been reduced in the range of its optimum temperature
