How does a cell inspection system work?

This inline and offline inspection solution performs a complete 360° inspection of the cell to ensure 100% inspection and the delivery of only flawless cells. In addition to dimensional inspection, the cell inspection also detects surface defects and contamination. The system can also reliably check barcodes and data codes.

Why is quality important in battery production?

Ensuring the quality along the production line right through to the finished battery cell is essential for meeting the highest standards with regard to battery performance, and for avoiding scrap costs along the value chain.

How do you test a lead-antimony battery?

In the case of a lead-antimony battery, measure and record the specific gravity of 10% of the cells and float charging current. For chemistries other than lead-antimony and where float current is not used to monitor the state of charge, measure and record the specific gravity 10% or more of the battery cells.

How often should a battery be inspected?

Measure the electrolyte temperature of 10% or more of the battery cells. At least once per year, the quarterly inspection will be augmented as follows: In the case of a lead-antimony battery, measure and record specific gravity and electrolyte temperature of all cells.

How do you test a battery rack?

Inspect and verify the structural integrity of the battery rack or cabinet. Using a calibrated and properly rated meter, measure and record the DC float voltage and current at the battery terminals. Is multiple strings involved, record the float current for each string.

What is a battery capacity test?

A battery capacity test will consist of a controlled current discharge of the battery systems in order to determine the capacity at the rate determined by the load reserve time requirements or at the manufacturer’s claimed performance rate for a specified time.
