Temperature-controlled short-circuit test for lithium batteries
1. Test overview
The temperature-controlled short-circuit test for lithium batteries is a test method used to evaluate the safety performance of lithium batteries under short-circuit conditions, especially its thermal runaway behavior and temperature change. Short circuit is a kind of serious failure that Li-ion batteries may encounter in the course of use, which may lead to a large amount of heat generated inside the battery, and then trigger thermal runaway, or even fire or explosion. Through the temperature-controlled short circuit test, the short circuit situation in actual use can be simulated to evaluate the safety and stability of the battery under extreme conditions.
2. Purpose of the test
Evaluate the risk of thermal runaway: Evaluate the risk of thermal runaway of Li-ion batteries under extreme conditions by simulating a short-circuit situation.
