摘要:
An evaluation method for evaluating safety of a battery having an electrode group including a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate and a separator inserted between said electrode plates. The method includes the steps of charging the battery to a predetermined voltage; incorporating conductive foreign matter into the charged battery such that the conductive foreign matter is in contact with the positive electrode plate, and not in contact with the negative electrode plate; immersing said battery into which the conductive foreign matter has been incorporated in an electrolyte to dissolve and deposit the conductive foreign matter, thereby causing an internal short circuit to occur in the battery; and evaluating a thermal behavior of the battery in which the internal short circuit has occurred, and outputting results of the evaluation as safety indices.
摘要:
A method for evaluating the safety of a battery under an internal short-circuit condition. The method for evaluating an internal short-circuit of a battery is characterized in that a short-circuit can be caused at a desired location inside the battery. According to the evaluation method of the invention, the evaluation result is not affected by the constitution of the outermost part of the battery unlike nail penetration tests which are conventional evaluation methods. Also, unlike crush tests which are conventional evaluation methods, the locations of short-circuits do not vary among tests and the safety under an internal short-circuit condition can be evaluated accurately.

Methods for evaluating battery safety under internal short-circuit conditions are improved to eliminate variations in evaluation results and accurately evaluate battery safety under internal short-circuit conditions. An internal short-circuit is caused in a battery by using an internal short-circuit causing method in which battery information obtained upon the occurrence of an internal short-circuit hardly changes with the structure of the battery. At this time, the battery information is detected to accurately evaluate the safety of the battery upon the internal short-circuit and identify the safety level.

摘要:
The invention provides an evaluation method and an evaluation apparatus with which it is possible to know the safety level of batteries when an internal short circuit occurs through a chemical process, and a battery whose safety level has been determined with the evaluation method and the evaluation apparatus. A battery that has been charged to a predetermined voltage and into which conductive foreign matter has been incorporated is immersed in an electrolyte. The time at which the battery started to dissolve in the electrolyte is determined. Occurrence of an internal short circuit in the battery is detected based on a battery voltage. A time required for occurrence of short circuit is computed based on the above-described dissolution start time and the time of occurrence of the internal short circuit, and then output.
