UN38.3 Test Items & Technical Verdict
| No. | Test Item | Test Parameters & Technical Procedure | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| T.1 | Altitude Simulation | Simulates air transport under low-pressure conditions. Battery is stored at a pressure ≤ 11.6 kPa at an ambient temperature of 20±5°C for at least 6 hours. Requirement: No leakage, venting, disassembly, rupture, or fire; open circuit voltage retention ≥ 90%. | PASSED |
| T.2 | Thermal Test | Assesses seal integrity and internal electrical connections. Battery is stored at 72±2°C for at least 12 hours, followed by storage at -40±2°C for at least 12 hours. The procedure is repeated 10 times, followed by 24 hours of ambient storage. | PASSED |
| T.3 | Vibration | Simulates vibration during transport. A sinusoidal waveform with logarithmic sweep between 7 Hz and 200 Hz and back to 7 Hz in 15 minutes is applied. Cycle repeated 12 times for a total of 3 hours in each of the three mutually perpendicular axes. | PASSED |
| T.4 | Shock | Simulates physical shocks during transport. Large battery pack is secured and subjected to a half-sine shock of peak acceleration 39.8 gn and pulse duration of 11 milliseconds. Subjected to 3 shocks in positive and negative directions for 3 axes (total of 18 shocks). | PASSED |
| T.5 | External Short Circuit | Simulates external short circuit of the pack. Heated to 57±4°C and subjected to short circuit with a total resistance < 0.1 Ω. Continued for 1 hour after temperature stabilized. Maximum casing temperature reached was 57.7°C (well below the 170°C limit). No disassembly, rupture, or fire. | PASSED |
| T.6 | Crush (Cell-level) | Simulates mechanical crushing. LF75 cells are crushed between flat surfaces at a speed of 1.5 cm/s until the force reaches 13 ± 0.78 kN. Maximum outer casing temperature recorded during test: 25.2°C. No disassembly or fire within 6 hours. | PASSED |
| T.7 | Overcharge | Evaluates ability to withstand severe overcharge. Charged at twice the maximum continuous charge current (i.e. 200 A) at a test voltage of 22V for 24 hours. Result: No disassembly or fire within 7 days after the test. | PASSED |
| T.8 | Forced Discharge | (Cell-level) Evaluates cells’ ability to withstand a forced discharge. Connected in series with a 12V DC power supply at an initial current equal to the maximum discharge current (322.5 A) for 20 minutes. No disassembly or fire within 7 days. | PASSED |
MSDS Emergency Handling & Safety Instructions
⚠️ First-aid Measures (If Pack is Ruptured/Leaking)
- Eye Contact: Flush immediately with lukewarm flowing water or saline solution for at least 30 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek immediate medical attention.
- Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing/shoes. Flush skin with gentle flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
- Inhalation: Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. Keep airway clear and obtain medical advice.
- Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly. **DO NOT induce vomiting**. Drink 60 to 240 mL (2-8 oz.) of water. Transport to emergency medical facility immediately.
🔥 Firefighting & Accidental Release Measures
- Thermal Hazard: Auto-ignition temperature 130°C. Cells may rupture under excessive heat, releasing highly flammable and corrosive electrolyte.
- Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding materials (water, CO2, dry powder, or sand).
- Special Hazards: Burning batteries can evolve hydrogen gas, which can form explosive mixtures in confined spaces.
- Spill Cleanup: Restrict access. Contain spilled liquid with dry sand or soil. Absorb with inert material, collect in waste container, and scrub area with water.
🛠️ Safe Handling Instructions
- Short-Circuit Prevention: Do not handle battery terminals with metal objects. Do not store packs haphazardly in drawers where terminal contacts could cross-connect.
- Mechanical Limits: Do not open, disassemble, crush, puncture, or incinerate. Protect the outer casing from mechanical impact.
- Operations: Ensure adequate ventilation at the workplace. Keep ignition sources away. Strictly no smoking.
📦 Storage Regulations
- Storage Limits: Short-term storage (≤3 months): -10°C to +40°C (45% to 85% RH). Long-term storage: 0°C to +35°C.
- Periodic Recharge: For storage exceeding 3 months, it is highly recommended to recharge the battery pack periodically to prevent deep self-discharge.
- Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Do not store with strong oxidizers or acidic chemicals.
