Battery Abuse Testing-CATL Walk In Environmental Chamber
As well as fire testing, there are many standard focused on abuse testing of batteries to ensure their safety and reliability on the field and in transit. There are also specific standards based on where the battery is being used, whether in a vehicle, telecommunication device, child’s toy, etc. Some examples of standards and guidance materials are given below
