[Tech Review] Why Do EV Batteries Need Ripple Current Testing?
![[Tech Review] Why Do EV Batteries Need Ripple Current Testing?](https://www.chromausa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/03082021_NL-1024x469.jpg)
Ripple most commonly refers to an undesirable amount of AC voltage fluctuation on the DC power supply. During vehicle charging and power conversion, EV batteries constantly have to face such troublesome power ripples. In the long run, this may accelerate battery degradation, especially in harsh low-temperature environments. EV batteries thus require ripple current testing to […]
Factors you did NOT know that cause lithium-ion batteries to ignite and explode… And the test solutions
Most explosion and fire accidents in lithium-ion battery products occur while charging, even inside electric vehicles, power tools, electronic products, you name it. This mainly happens when the negative electrode material (graphite or mixed silicon) inflates while charging, which shortens the distance between the positive and negative electrodes. If the mixing of conductive impurities causes […]
