Lithium-ion Battery Safety Test Chamber China Supplier & Manufacturer
Lithium-ion battery explosion-proof test chamber is mainly used for overcharge, and over-discharge (forced discharge) tests on lithium-ion cells, lithium-ion battery modules, or battery packs. It can effectively resist the pressure generated by the explosion of the failed cells/batteries during the test.
At the same time, it can reduce and avoid the adverse influence of the high temperature after the burn of a single battery on other testing cells or batteries.
The battery explosion-proof test chamber is widely used in battery research and development, quality inspection, and safety performance certification.
The inner and outer materials of the explosion-proof chamber are solid steel plates with enough thickness and strength to protect surrounding people or equipment from harm in the event of battery fire or explosion.
The explosion-proof chamber can be a single chamber and multiple cells that are customized, capable of accommodating multiple single cells or batteries for overcharge and over-discharge tests simultaneously.
Each cell of our standard lithium-ion battery explosion-proof test chamber is configured with the wire hole, exhaust fan, pressure relief opening, explosion-proof door lock, and explosion-proof chain.
You are also available in selecting and configuring apparatuses for gas detection, smoke detection, video surveillance, or fire extinguishing according to the hazard level.

Safety Features of Explosion-proof Battery Test Chambers
Door Lock
- Perfectly integrated into the explosion-proof test chamber.
- The lever principle is adopted to make the opening and closing of the door easier.
- Push the handle clockwise to open and continue to turn the handle until the hook slides out of the seat to open the door.
Explosion-proof Chain
- Suppose the pressure generated by the explosion of the battery in the chamber bursts open the door. In that case, the chain on the door frame can allow the door to open partially, which plays the role of secondary buffering and protection.
- Made of precision steel to guarantee enough structural strength for resisting impact force.
- It can be conveniently connected and removed by buckling the ring at the end of the chain.
Pressure Relief Port
- We specially designed a pressure relief port allowing the explosion-proof chamber to buffer the shock wave generated at the moment of the explosion to minimize the impact of pressure on equipment.
- Due to the different pressures generated by the explosion of different batteries, we will also design different sizes of pressure relief ports according to different situations.
Cable Hole
- A round hole with a diameter of 50 mm or a diameter of 100 mm is available on the left or right side of the explosion-proof chamber to facilitate the passage of various test cables during the test.
- It helps you in monitoring and recordding real-time parameters such as battery temperature, battery voltage, and AC impedance.
Exhaust Fan
- A circular exhaust fan is at the rear of the explosion-proof chamber.
- During the battery overcharge or over-discharge test, the leaked gas can be discharged from the cabinet through the exhaust fan to reduce the flammable gas in the chamber.
- The exhaust fan also extracts the smoke generated after the battery catches fire or explodes.
Observation Window
- The door is equipped with a transparent glass for better observation on samples during the test.
- Made of tempered glass to ensure the enough strength to withstand explosion.
- Coupled with wire meshes to better protect surrounding people and objects.
Smoke Detector
- Capable of detecting smoke inside the chamber.
- This alarm indicates that the battery under test is thermal runaway and likely to burst into flames.
- Be ready to put out the fire once it rings.
Gas Detector
- Capable of detecting leaked gases such as H2,CO, C2H4, etc. from the batteries.
- The alarm indicates the possibility of fire or explosion.
Fire extinguishing device
- Fitted with a CO2 dry powder extinguisher to suppress flames.
- Coupled with water spraying apparatus to continuously cool the failed batteries.
Video Monitoring Apparatus
- The chamber is equipped with a high-definition camera to ensure a clear picture.
- The test process can be remotely monitored to ensure personnel safety.
FAQ on Explosion-proof Battery Test Chambers
An explosion-proof battery test chamber is a safety container specially used for battery overcharge and over-discharge tests of cells and batteries. The battery/cell is placed inside the chamber throughout the test. You can think of it as an iron box with sufficient impact resistance to limit the adverse effects to a predetermined small space to protect the operator and surrounding equipment when the battery explodes.
A physical box capable of withstanding explosive shock and insulating smoke and harmful gases accommodates the sample battery to complete the overcharge or over-discharge test.
The appearance of the explosion-proof battery test chamber looks simple, and its structure is not complicated. It is mainly composed of the following plates:
- Inner box: Made of 304 stainless steel sheets.
- Outer box: Made of cold-rolled sheets and treated by baking varnish.
- Chamber Door: Connected to the frame by solid hinges and configured with double-layer vacuum tempered glass and heat-resisting sealing strips. Metal chains can act as a buffer against explosive shock once the battery explodes.
- Pressure Relief Port: When there is a strong airflow in the box, the pressure generated at the moment of battery explosion can be discharged through the pressure relief port.
- Exhaust System: The vent is connected to the laboratory’s powerful exhaust duct. It is controlled individually. When the test sample produces smoke, start the exhaust system to quickly discharge the smoke out of the box with the help of the exhaust fan.
- Lighting System: Equipped with an explosion-proof lamp.
- Gas or smoke detection device (optional)
- Fire extinguishing device (optional)
- Video surveillance device (optional)
Lithium-ion batteries have been proven to be a reliable energy storage device, especially for consumer electronics and electric vehicle (EV) applications, due to their long lifespan, high energy density, and low energy-saving pollution.
However, abusive handling and use in extreme environments can affect battery life and even create safety concerns. It is difficult to maintain the same SOC for each cell due to the different capacity variations in the battery pack.
Thus, overcharge or forced discharge may occur when the battery pack is used. It requires Li-ion batteries to be tested to study their response to overcharge and response to over-discharge conditions, trying to establish early prevention methods of battery failure to ensure the safety of battery applications.
