Recent Industrial Research Outcomes

APL battery engineers publish paper with NASA/NREL on battery damage

31 March 2019 - UCL battery engineers publish work undertaken alongside NASA and NREL.

Intentionally inducing worst-case thermal runaway scenarios in Li-ion cells on-demand is a definitive way to test the efficacy of battery systems in safely mitigating the consequences of catastrophic failure. An internal short-circuiting (ISC) device is implanted into three 18650 cell designs: one standard, one with a bottom vent, and one with a thicker casing.
