Figuring out the foundation explanation for an issue
Failure evaluation is the method of gathering and analyzing information to determine the foundation explanation for a failure. The findings from a failure evaluation are sometimes used to find out corrective actions resembling stopping the failure of comparable merchandise, bettering the design of future merchandise or to handle legal responsibility claims. Unbiased third-party help is usually sought throughout this course of for skilled recommendation, help of authorized points, or just to acquire a impartial third-party perspective.
The problem of battery failure evaluation is to unambiguously determine the issue’s root trigger. Essentially, the failure may be traced to battery/cell failure, system failure (exterior to the battery), or failure of the battery administration management system which is both built-in into the battery itself or is a separate circuitry designed into the system. A battery or cell failure could also be efficiency (e.g. the lifetime of the battery is lower than the specification), security (e.g. a cell/battery overheating), or leakage associated (e.g. the electrolyte begins to leak from the cell container).
On this white paper, Intertek’s skilled power storage staff offers an outline of the strategies and strategies utilized in battery failure evaluation.
