Faulty battery cells can lead to fires and even explosions. Parker’s presentation will cover advanced leak-detection methods available for testing high-performance lithium-ion battery packs. Currently, there are many questions concerning quality-control standards for EV batteries, but the proper application of available test methodology can ensure overall battery performance, quality and safety.
