In Focus: Nail Penetration Test on Cell Level

In the field of battery safety, precise and realistic tests are crucial. With our specialized nail penetration tests at cell level, we offer highly accurate analyses.

State-of-the-art test conditions for accurate test results

Thanks to our latest testing technology, we can use nail thicknesses of 1 mm and 3 mm and achieve a penetration depth of up to 50 mm at a controlled speed of 10 µm/s. The measurement accuracy of 5 µm ensures precise results.

Our tests also include an isolation measurement between can and pole, where the nail is galvanically insulated. High-speed recordings with up to 240 fps enable a detailed analysis of the cell behavior. Cell voltage measurements are also possible.

With these test procedures, we support the further development of safe battery systems and provide important data for development and industry.
