Type of test: 

Assembly inspection of lithium-ion batteries. 

 

Challenge:

Due to production or assembly errors, the contact, insulation and electrolyte foil is damaged in some batteries.

 

Possible consequences:

A short circuit can be the result. This can lead to a high thermal reaction of the electrolyte. The resulting outgassing causes the battery to swell externally. Inflated, deformed, outgassed lithium-containing batteries can lead to explosions and fires.

 

Advantages of CT testing:

• Dismantling of batteries in small devices is not necessary for the test. The devices can therefore be used immediately after the test
• By sorting out defective batteries, higher quality can be guaranteed, and prevention against legal disputes and negative press in case of a fire can be operated
