Current conventional testing of empty hard-case prismatic or cylindrical cells is done by filling the cells with helium tester gas to detect leaks while the cells are in a vacuum chamber. Electrolytes are inserted into the cells after “dry” testing. . Leak testing is a fundamental operation in the battery cell production process, in particular for the new generations of lithium-ion secondary batteries. On the. . Why leak test lithium-ion batteries and electrical vehicle (EV) cooling components? Lithium‐ion chemistry is not inherently safe as lithium reacts rapidly with water in a single displacement reaction producing hydrogen gas and lithium hydroxide. Given that the. . Double Chamber automatic machine for in-line leak testing of prismatic battery cells.
