Large-scale, battery testing, adiabatic calorimeter

The BTC-500 (Battery Testing Calorimeter) is a floor-standing adiabatic calorimeter for the safe testing of thermal, electrical, and mechanical stress (abuse) tests on larger battery cells, and small modules. Evaluation of these tests facilitates the assessment of the safety performance of battery cells, enables the battery’s safe operating limits to be defined, and facilitates research and development into the mechanisms of thermal runaway and thermal propagation.

• Characterizing differences in cell performance
• Defining safe operating limits
• Exploring thermal runaways and thermal propagation
