Description
Reliability and safety are basic requirements for cells and
battery systems, in addition to performance, life cycle costs
and ecological considerations. The cost-effective design
and operation of a battery is intimately related to the
reliability and safety of its components. In this module the
basic failure mechanism of cells and their effects are
explained and illustrated. Safety features from cell to
battery level, the influence of environmental and
operational conditions, safety testing and analysis methods
are presented in order to support the design of reliable and
safe batteries.
