Features
Detect contamination that could cause defects. Improve battery cell productivity through high-speed testing
To assure battery quality over the long term, it’s necessary to detect the causes of latent defects in testing processes on production lines. Minuscule insulation defects can eventually degrade battery service life and cause fires. The principal causes of insulation defects are contamination (with metallic matter) and minuscule scratches occurring in production processes.
Detecting minuscule insulation defects caused by contamination
The BDD function is a proprietary testing function that can detect minuscule internal short-circuits caused by contamination (with metallic matter) at the stage before battery cells are filled with electrolyte. By identifying and eliminating defective parts at an early stage in the production process, the BDD function helps prevent the risk of hazards such as fires and accidents caused by heating after battery shipment. Eliminating latent accident causes such as these facilitates the production of batteries that resist degradation and function economically.
Stable insulation resistance testing, even in noisy environments
Hioki succeeded in significantly reducing the effects of external noise by drawing on insulation resistance tester measurement technology and design expertise cultivated over many years. As a result, the BT5525 can perform stable, variation-free insulation resistance testing at a level of quality that lets it detect internal short-circuits caused by contamination.
Preventing testing do-overs due to erroneous judgments
The BT5525 provides a contact check function to determine whether the instrument has made proper contact with the circuit under test by measuring the capacitance between the measurement terminals (stray capacitance and the capacitance of the circuit under test).
Ideal for insulation resistance testing before battery electrolyte filling
The BT5525 tests insulation between electrodes before cells are filled with electrolyte. The tester's maximum test voltage is 500 V. It can also perform insulation testing between module/pack electrodes and the enclosure.
