Lithium ion battery has the advantages of high specific energy, high voltage, long cycle life and low self discharge. It has become one of the main power supplies for portable electronic products such as mobile communication, notebook computers and electric tools. However, under misuse conditions (such as heating, overcharge, short circuit, vibration, extrusion, etc.), lithium-ion …

What is UN 38.3 T6 Test ? – Part 2

3.Research on T6 Test Method For T6 test, due to the diversity of existing lithium battery types, it is necessary to select different test methods for different types of lithium battery cells. During the research of the lithium battery working group of the United Nations Transportation Expert Committee, the test methods such as crush, nail …

What is UN 38.3 T6 Test ? – Part 1

1.Lithium Battery Transportation Safety As a new type of clean energy, lithium battery has been supporting the products that are essential and accessible to people at any time. Therefore, its safety is related to all consumers, manufacturers and transport departments, which has aroused concern from all parties.   Lithium batteries are mainly divided into lithium …

Li-ion Power Battery Crush Test – Part 1

Guided and supported by policies, electric vehicles have entered a period of rapid development. The government and major engine manufacturers have formulated corresponding development plans for electric vehicles. In the future, electric vehicles will gradually replace traditional fuel vehicles. However, after a series of reported electric vehicle collisions, fires and even explosions occurred again, making …

What is Environmental Safety Test of Lithium-ion Battery ?

Lithium ion battery, as well as the overall sample consisting of non user replaceable battery/lithium ion battery and its electronic products. For non user replaceable batteries, they should be installed in electronic products as a whole sample for standard lithium ion battery environmental safety test; For non user replaceable lithium-ion batteries, they can be placed …

Low Pressure Environment and Thermal Runaway

While lithium battery brings convenience to people’s life, its safety is also concerned by everyone. The violent combustion of electrolyte will penetrate the metal plate, and the explosion limit of pyrolysis gas is higher than that of hydrocarbons. The thermal runaway reaction of lithium battery is easy to cause dangerous events, and its high temperature …
