The HEL Battery Testing Calorimeter.A Compact design that can be used for battery sizes from 18650 to small pouch, prismatic etc. up to 12cm (4.8 inches), as well as all battery components and chemicals. Safe to use in a standard fume hood, confirmed by testing with explosives. This is a safety calorimeter designed to test safety problems of thermal runaway initiated by high temperature, overdischarge (too high current) and overcharging (too high voltage). It can be used to test large and small Li-ion & similar other high energy batteries and components. The BTC is based on the same principle as "ARC-type" (TM) adiabatic calorimeters - which is proven to be the correct platform for more than 30 years in the chemical industry.
