Performance And Test Conditions of Lithium Battery
1. Standard Test Conditions:Test should be conducted with new batteries within one week after shipment from our factory and the cells shall not be cycled more than five times before the test. Unless otherwise specified, test and measurement shall be done under temperature of 20±5℃ and relative humidity of 45~85%. If it is judged that the test results are not affected by such conditions, the tests may be conducted at temperature 15~30℃ and humidity 25~85%RH.
2. Measuring Instrument or Apparatus:
1). Dimension Measuring Instrument: The dimension measurement shall be implemented by instruments with equal or more precision scale of 0.01mm.
2). Voltmeter: Standard class specified in the national standard or more sensitive class having inner impedance more than 10kΩ/V.
3). Ammeter: Standard class specified in the national standard or more sensitive class. Total external resistance including ammeter and wire is less than 0.01Ω
4). Impedance Meter: Impedance shall be measured by a sinusoidal alternating current method(1kHz LCR meter).
3. Standard ChargeDischarge:
1). Standard Charge :Test procedure and its criteria are referred as follows:
Charging shall consist of charging at a 0.2C5A constant current rate until the cell reaches 8.4V. The cell shall then be charged at constant voltage of 8.4volts while tapering the charge current. Charging shall be terminated when the charging current has tapered to 0.01 C5A . Charge time : Approx 6h, The cell shall demonstrate no permanent degradation when charged between 0 ºC and 45 ºC.
2). Standard Discharge: Cells shall be discharged at a constant current of 0.2 C5A to 6 volts @ 20º 5C.
3). If no otherwise specified, the rest time between Chare and Discharge amount to 30min.
4). Appearance: There shall be no such defect as flaw, crack, rust, leakage, which may adversely affect commercial value of battery.
