ELT3000 PLUS
Quick to install and ready to use: the electrolyte leak detector for accurate leak testing on batteries.

Precise down to micrometer, highly sensitive and significantly faster
From powering electric and fuel cell vehicles to powering mobile communication devices, power tools and medical equipment, metal-ion batteries, like lithium-ion, sodium-ion or even aluminium-ion batteries, are essential to our everyday lives. That's why it's just as important to prevent metal-ion battery leakage as it is to prevent moisture ingress from any leaks to ensure safety, longevity and reliability. The ELT3000 PLUS offers a reliable and non-destructive method for flexible testing of liquid electrolyte-filled battery cells, regardless of their format.
Detecting lithium-ion battery leaks down the micrometer range
With the ELT3000 PLUS Battery Electrolyte Leak Detector, INFICON offers a unique, non-destructive leak testing solution for all metal-ion battery cells, including fragile pouch cells. It is the only system that detects electrolyte leakage directly, rather than through indirect parameters (like pressure changes). Based on mass spectrometer technology, it can find leaks down to the micrometer range, up to 1,000 times smaller than the ones found with traditional pressure test methods.
