Robust Early Detection of Electrolyte Leakage and Cell Thermal Runaway

EV/HEV Webinar by Brian Engle

As the transportation and industrial markets embrace the use of lithium-ion battery power, the needs for diagnostics are evolving as well. Current Li-ion battery technology utilizes volatile electrolytes and metals that under certain extreme and rare conditions, can fail to control internal electrolytic reactions, resulting in the cell venting, and in severe cases evolving into a thermal runaway at temperatures that can result in a cascade failure of the pack in a deflagration event.
