I. Test Object and Purpose
First of all, we should make it clear that this test is mainly for portable sealed batteries and battery packs, such as our common lithium-ion batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries and so on. Then, what is the purpose of the test? Simply put, it is to evaluate the safety of batteries under extreme conditions. Imagine the consequences if a battery catches fire or explodes in a short-circuit situation. Therefore, this test is crucial!
Second, the key test items
1. External Short Circuit Test: This test is very interesting. The staff will short-circuit the positive and negative terminals of the battery through a very small resistor, and then observe the reaction of the battery. During this process, the temperature will be strictly controlled within the range of 555. The test will continue until the battery case temperature drops by 20% or until 16 hours have been reached. This process is like a stress test for the battery to see if it can withstand such a challenge.
2. Internal Short Circuit Test: This test goes even deeper into the battery. It simulates a short circuit inside the battery to see if the battery is in a dangerous condition. This is like giving the battery an internal physical examination to ensure that its internal organs are healthy.
Testing environment and conditions
When it comes to the testing environment, it is really harsh to describe. Temperature, humidity, air pressure and other parameters are strictly controlled to ensure the accuracy and comparability of the test. This is like building a space capsule for the battery, so that it is tested in a completely controlled environment.
Safety design and automatic protection
Of course, safety always comes first. Temperature-controlled short-circuit test chamber is equipped with over-current protection, over-voltage protection, temperature alarm and other automatic protection functions. These functions are like a security guard, always guarding the safety of the test process. Even if anomalies occur, measures can be taken immediately to avoid accidents.
Fifth, the test results judgment
Finally, let's talk about how to determine the test results. Qualified standards are very simple: the battery in the test can not appear explosion, fire and other phenomena. At the same time, the battery temperature change during the test, expansion and other parameters also need to be within the safety range. This is like a test, only through all the subjects, the battery can get a certificate of conformity.

Q: When should I use the continuous versus impulse current output mode?
A: Use continuous mode for endurance or stability tests where a steady current is necessary, and use impulse mode to simulate real-world fault or surge conditions. Your choice should align with the specific test procedures required by the component or device under evaluation.
Q: Where can I access data from test cycles for reports or analysis?
A: All test data can be exported via the machine's USB port or optional RS232 interface. This allows you to store and analyze testing results on a computer, ensuring traceable and accurate reporting for quality control or certification processes.
Q: What is the process for adjusting the number and size of specimens?
A: The adjustable clamping system allows you to set up between one and six specimens with widths up to 100 mm. Simply configure the fixture to secure your sample(s), ensuring proper electrical contact and mechanical stability as per the test requirements.
