IEC 62660-2

Reliability & Abuse Testing for Lithium Ion Cells in Electric Vehicles

• Capacity discharge test at -20°C, 0°C, 25°C and 45°C

• High temperature endurance

This test is performed to characterize cell responses to high-temperature

environment. Raise temp at rate of 5°C/min to 130°C +/-2°C. Soak for 30 min 

• Temperature cycling

This test is performed to characterize thermal durability of cell  by exposing at low and high temperature environment alternately to cause expansion and contraction of cell components. Start and end below test at 25°C.

• Test without electrical operation. Cycles between minimum temperature of

-40°C (or specified by mfg) and max of +85°C (or specified by mfg). Repeat for 30 cycles. Refer to spec for timed ramps.

• Test with electrical operation. Cycles between minimum temperature of

-20°C and max of +65°C. Repeat for 30 cycles. Refer to spec for timed ramps.
