Types of Tests:
- Thermal stress: the BTC-130 enables the battery cell to be tested for its thermal stability and for the characterization of associated thermal runaway events
- Electrical stress: the BTC-130 can be combined with charge-discharge units to support overcharging and discharging testing. External short circuits can also be applied. Resultant thermal runaway events can be characterized
- Mechanical stress: the BTC-130 can perform nail penetration puncture tests, while also characterizing the subsequent thermal runaway
- High data rate acquisition is also available for characterizing extremely fast reactions, for compliance with GB/T 36276-2018
Evaluation of these tests facilitates the assessment of the safety performance of battery cells, the battery’s safe operating limits, and research and development into the mechanisms of thermal runaway. The BTC-130 also supports the use of small-volume spherical test cells, enabling thermal stability screening of individual battery cell components under adiabatic conditions.
- Component hazard Screening
- Characterizing differences in cell performance
- Defining safe operating limits
- Exploring thermal runaways and thermal propagation
Why is temperature so important to achieve optimum battery performance?
Battery-powered devices are everywhere within society, and this is only set to increase, especially as the electric vehicle market grows. This results in the demand for higher-powered, longer-lasting, better-performing batteries. With this comes the need for tightened safety regulations to ensure the safety of these ever-improving batteries is not compromised. This is where manufacturers have to take into account the importance of temperature when it comes to achieving the best possible performance and properties for their batteries. There are many factors to be considered regarding temperature and batteries, and here, H.E.L. Group discusses a few of these.
