With the rapid development of electric vehicle industry, more and more attention has been paid to the safety of the automotive battery. The safety of battery in electric vehicle’s frontal collision is the focus of this paper. In the process of simulated collision, the research object is simplified into a battery box. The mechanical properties of the battery monomers were investigated to summarize the mechanical properties of the internal failure of the monomers. Constructing the finite element model of the research object, we focus on the analysis of collision simulation results and propose the improvement measures. According to the test requirements in C-NCAP, the crash simulation of battery box is carried out by using the finite element software called LS-DYNA, which is used in automobile collision to analyze the deformation, stress of the battery box and the most dangerous battery monomer during the frontal collision. The simulation results show that the deformation of the case is obvious, and the protection of the battery is lost in the 50km/h frontal collision condition. By adding EVA foam, the maximum deformation of the battery monomer is reduced by 8.2%. By improving the material of battery case, the maximum deformation is reduced by 12.65%.
