Hot Cell® Sensors for Large Batteries
Testing Cp of large-size pouch cells and prismatic cells
These Hot Cell® sensors are primarily intended for testing flat batteries, with focus on large-size pouch batteries and prismatic batteries. The cells are made of aluminium and have the shape of a flat square or rectangular box with rounded edges. The cell sizes are customized with a maximum width, length, and height of respectively 400 mm, 400 mm, and 100 mm. Hot Disk® can arrange cells with even greater width and length upon special request. Due to the rounded edges of the cells, the maximum pouch battery size will depend on if the pouch battery is square-shaped or rectangular-shaped.
These Hot Cell® sensors come with high-temperature foam insulation and two cable options – a standard grey-colored cable for use between -20°C to 50°C, or a red-colored silicone-clad cable for use between -60°C to 180°C. For the latter option, grey-colored adaptor cable is needed for connection to Hot Disk® instruments (or sensor switch units) and is offered separately.
- Option 1: Polymer cable cladding (-20°C to 50°C)
- Option 2: Silicone cable cladding (-60°C to 180°C)
