Lithium Battery Abusive Testing Capabilities

batteries in demanding operational environments, the Department of War (DoW) requires robust testing capabilities to evaluate their performance under abusive conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, thermal, mechanical, and electrical abuse. The DoW is seeking information from industry on t

he capabilities available for the abusive testing of lithium batteries. Capabilities of interest include cell, module, and battery propagation testing (full casualty), heat release rate testing, gas analysis, and environmental testing. Base
