A Lifetime of Testing; Measuring Coin Cell Degradation by Calorimetry
Peter Ralbovsky, NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing
The heat signature of a cell can provide information about the current State-of-Health (SOH) as well as insight into past usage and misuse. The calorimetry data, along with other indicators, can help predict future performance and repurposing possibilities, reducing costs and environmental concerns. In this talk, we summarize hundreds of calorimetric tests to develop a baseline at various conditions.
