Avoiding lithium-ion battery leaks for reliable power supply
Lithium-Ion batteries have become a necessity in many parts of modern life – wether it is in traction batteries for electric and fuel cell cars, in mobile communication devices or in power tools and medical equipment. In all application, lithium-ion battery leaks must be avoided to ensure safety, longevity and reliability of the LIBs.
Detecting lithium-ion battery leaks down the micrometer range
With the ELT3000 Battery Electrolyte Leak Detector, INFICON offers a unique, non-destructive leak testing solution for all Lithium-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.
Automating the process for high throughput end-of-line testing
The modular design and modern field bus interfaces make it easy to integrate the ELT3000 into your automated processes. Short cycle times, customized test chambers and optional batch testing of several battery cells at a time ensure high throughput end-of-line testing. Testing results are recorded for full traceability and can be handed over to a QM system automatically.
Advantages
- Quality through innovative-end-of-line testing
- Enables unmatched high measurement reliability- no leaks missed
- High sensitivity allows production of safe and long lasting lithium-ion battery cells
- Non-destructive leak testing also for soft pouch cells
