CASE STUDY: MOBILE INDUSTRIAL CT FOR BATTERY SYSTEMS
ASSEMBLY TESTING OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
Challenge:
Due to production or assembly errors, the contact, insulation and electrolyte film of some batteries are damaged.
Possible consequences:
This can result in a short circuit. This can lead to a strong thermal reaction of the electrolyte. The resulting outgassing causes the battery to swell externally. Swollen, deformed, outgassed lithium-containing batteries can lead to explosions and fires.
Advantages of an industrial CT inspection:
- It is not necessary to dismantle batteries in small devices for the test. The devices can therefore be used immediately after the test.
- By sorting out defective batteries, higher quality can be guaranteed and precautions can be taken against legal disputes and negative press in the event of a fire.
- Tested batteries are no longer rejects and can be used
