- Analysis Investigations:
- investigations into battery failures, including cell ruptures, thermal runaway events, capacity fade, and other performance issues, using a combination of analytical techniques and testing methodologies.
- thorough examinations of failed battery cells/modules/packs, including visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT), and materials analysis, to identify failure modes and mechanisms.
- Cause Identification:
- data from failure investigations, including voltage/current profiles, temperature measurements, and environmental conditions, to determine the root causes of battery failures.
- hypotheses and perform root cause analyses to identify contributing factors such as manufacturing defects, design flaws, material degradation, or operational issues.
- and Validation:
- and execute experiments and tests to validate hypotheses and simulate failure conditions, including accelerated aging tests, thermal cycling tests, and abuse testing (e.g., overcharge, overdischarge).
- with internal and external partners, including research institutions and testing laboratories, to conduct specialized tests and analyses as needed.
- Mode Documentation and Reporting:
- findings from failure analyses, including detailed descriptions of failure modes, root causes, and contributing factors, in comprehensive technical reports.
- results and recommendations to cross-functional teams, including engineering, quality assurance, and product development, to drive corrective actions and improvements.
- Improvement:
- opportunities to improve battery reliability, safety, and performance based on findings from failure analyses and root cause investigations.
- with engineering teams to implement design changes, process improvements, and quality control measures to prevent future failures and enhance product robustness.
