This presentation describes two main types of calorimetric techniques which can be used to carry out performance and safety testing on batteries. These are isothermal calorimetry and adiabatic calorimetry. THT’s new developments in isothermal calorimetry are presented. These devices are focused on high sensitivity measurement which is required for smaller cell sizes from coin cells to 21700 cells. The second half of the presentation covers battery testing methods for the ARC® adiabatic calorimeter system. The theoretical background of the test method is described and recommended practice for various types of testing are discussed.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This webinar will cover the following key topics:
• Principles of isothermal calorimetry for batteries
• Introduction to the Isothermal Battery Calorimeter and example data
• Theoretical background to ARC® testing
• Recommended ARC® testing practices and new instrument developments

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

• Battery engineers
• Battery research scientists
• System/device design engineers
• Saftey test technicians
• R&D staff
