UN 38.3/IEC 62133 Lithium-ion Battery Test Chamber

KOMEG lithium-ion battery test chambers included thermal cycle chamber, thermal shock chamber, industrial oven, vacuum oven, altitude test chamber and temperature humidity chamber. 

As a lithium-ion battery test chamber manufacturer, KOMEG has extensive experience in the field of secondary cells/batteries testing, and many customers have recognized the quality of our products.  Here we mainly introduce UN 38.3 and IEC 62133, the two lithium-ion battery test standards that our customers consult most about. 

UN 38.3 Secondary Cells and Batteries Test

UN 38.3

  • Altitude Simulation (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries)
  • Thermal Test (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries)
  • Vibration (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries)
  • Shock (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries)
  • External Short Circuit (Primary and Secondary Cells and Batteries)
  • Impact (Primary and Secondary Cells)
  • Overcharge (Secondary Batteries)
  • Forced Discharge (Primary and Secondary Cells)

Altitude Simulation: 

Stored for more than 6 hours under pressure ≤11.6kPa and ambient temperature (20±5℃).

Thermal Test: 

Store at 75±2℃ for at least 6 hours (large cells/batteries need to be stored for 12 hours), and then store at -40±2℃ for the same time. The transition time between the two extreme temperatures must be within 30 minutes. Repeat the test for 10 cycles. Finally store at 20±2℃ for 24 hours.

Requirements: no mass loss, leaking, venting, disassembly, rupture or fire. And the open circuit voltage after the test is not less than 90% of that before the test (Note: The voltage requirement does not apply to cells/batteries in a fully discharged state)

IEC 62133 Secondary Cells and Batteries Test

IEC 62133-1

  • Continuous low-rate charging (Cells)
  • Vibration
  • Case stress at high ambient temperature (Batteries)
  • Temperature cycling
  • Incorrect installation (Cells)
  • External short circuit
  • Free fall
  • Mechanical shock (Crash hazard)
  • Thermal abuse (Cells)
  • Crushing of cells
  • Low pressure (Cells)
  • Overcharge
  • Forced discharge (Cells)

IEC 62133-2

  • Continuous charging at constant voltage (Cells)
  • Case stress at high ambient temperature (Batteries)
  • External Short Circuit (Cells)
  • External Short Circuit (Batteries)
  • Free Fall
  • Thermal Abuse (Cells)
  • Crush (Cells)
  • Over-charging of batteries
  • Forced discharge (Cells)
  • Vibration
  • Mechanical Shock
  • Forced Internal Short Circuit (Cells)
  •  

Temperature Cycling (IEC 62133-1): 

Step 1: Place the cells or batteries in an ambient temperature of 75±2℃ for 4 hours.

Step 2: Reduce the temperature to 20±5℃ within 30 minutes and test for 2 hours

Step 3: Reduce the temperature to -20±2℃ within 30 minutes and test for 4 hours

Step 4: Raise the temperature to 20±5℃ within 30 minutes and test for 2 hours

Step 5: Repeat steps 1 to 4 for a further four cycles. Transition from step 4 to step 1 within 30 min.

Thermal Abuse (IEC 62133-1/IEC 62133-2): 

The oven temperature is raised at a rate of 5℃/min±2℃/min to a temperature of 130±2℃. The cell remains at this temperature for 30 min. Requirements：No fire, no explosion.

Low Pressure (IEC 62133-1): 

Each fully charged cell is placed in a vacuum drying chamber, in an ambient temperature of 20±5℃. Once the chamber has been sealed, its internal pressure is gradually reduced to a pressure equal to or less than 11.6kPa and held for 6 hours. Requirements：No fire, no explosion, no leakage.
