This presentation covers two essential calorimetric techniques for performance and safety testing of high-energy batteries. Starting with THT's latest innovation, the IBCx, an isothermal battery calorimeter that delivers precise thermal control, providing crucial insights into the effects of C-rates on heat output, efficiency, and temperature during charge and discharge cycles. The IBCx also allows for quick measurement of heat capacity within the same system. As the battery market shifts toward larger, higher-capacity cells in the form of long, thin blade cells, THT has developed its largest adiabatic ARC. The ARC is designed to evaluate the thermal stability and safety limits of these batteries under extreme conditions such as elevated temperatures, overcharge, short circuit and nail penetration. The presentation also highlights complementary test methods including online gas analysis.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Principles of isothermal and adiabatic calorimetry testing for high-energy batteries
•Advantages and limitations of these two methods
• New product developments from THT to address market demand for testing of large format, high-capacity cells
• Integration of on-line gas analysis with ARC testing
A PDF copy and recording of the presentation will be sent to all registered delegates after the event.
