    Battery Test Chambers

    Reach-In & Walk-In


    Russells Technical Products battery
    test chambers are equipped with safety
    features conforming to industry safety
    standards, enabling testing to a variety of
    conditions and specifications, including
    extreme temperature cycling, humidy,
    altitude, and vibration integration.

    Battery test chambers from RTP can


    be used across the spectrum of testing
    applications, including lithium ion,
    battery packs, lead acid batteries,
    modules, and more. From smaller
    applications within a reach-in chamber
    to jobs necessitating a walk-in or drive-
    in test system, our battery test chambers
    are designed to safely test to your exact
    specifications.

    needs safely and efficiently.
    No explosion or The safety standards for lithium-ion batteries under
    Temperature Cycling Test
    fire EUCAR, UL, CSA, or IEC describe the requirements for the
    construction and testing of lithium-ion batteries. Testing of
    Low Pressure Test batteries involves potentially destructive tests, which can
    No leakage lead to hazards like fire and explosions, compromising the
    (Altitude Simulation)
    safety of the test engineers.

    EUCAR HAZARD LEVELS define the outcome of cell level safety testing. However, you also
    need to understand the capacity of the cells being tested and likely hazard level to determine
    if the chamber can contain a cell failure. A large capacity cell being tested with a likely hazard
    level 4 result can create an overpressure in a small test chamber, which could cause a failure of
    the test chamber itself, endangering testing personnel.

    DESCRIPTION CLASSIFICATION LEVEL & EFFECT

    0 No effect No effect, no loss of functionality

    Passive protection No defect; no leakage; no venting, fire or flame; no rupture; no explosion; no exothermic reaction or
    1
    activated thermal runaway. Cell reversibly damaged. Repair of protection device needed.
    No leakage; no venting, fire or flame; no rupture; no explosion; no exothermic reaction or thermal
    2 Defect/damage
    runaway. Cell irreversibly damaged. Repair needed.
    Leakage, mass No venting, fire or flame; no rupture; no explosion. Weight loss < 50% of electrolyte weight
    3
    change <50% (electrolyte = solvent + salt)
    Venting, mass No fire or flame; no rupture; no explosion. Weight loss ≥ 50% of electrolyte weight
    4
    change ≥50% (electrolyte = solvent + salt).

    5 Fire or flame No rupture; no explosion (i.e. no flying parts).

    6 Rupture No explosion, but flying parts of the active mass.

    7 Explosion Explosion (i.e. disintegration of the cell).
