Does the Li Ion battery requirement for different countries confuse you? We will focus on the international requirements applied to small format portable Li Ion batteries. This will be an in-depth review of countries with mandatory requirements as well as voluntary or customer driven requirements. Every country has some very specific items that make them unique and these differences can lead to delays and potential changes in design if not understood ahead of time. We will review these gotcha items for each country we review. Finally, we will take a look at what is on the horizon for changes to standards and requirements globally.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Definition of scope – portable, small format Li ion batteries
• Shipping regulations overview
• Mandatory requirements
• Voluntary or other requirements
• Upcoming changes

New Developments in Isothermal Microcalorimetry and ARC® Testing Methods
FREE Webinar – THT is a proud sponsor of this event.
This presentation describes two main types of calorimetric techniques which can be used to carry out performance and safety testing on batteries. These are isothermal calorimetry and adiabatic calorimetry.
THT’s new Micro Battery Calorimeter is presented along with initial data from a prototype unit. This device is focused on high sensitivity measurement which is required for coin and button cell samples which produce only milliwatts of heat during use. This is an example of an isothermal calorimeter system.
The second half of the presentation covers battery testing methods for the ARC® adiabatic calorimeter system. The theoretical background of the test method is described and recommended practice for various types of testing are discussed.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Principles of isothermal calorimetry for batteries
• Introduction to the Micro Battery Calorimeter and initial data
• Theoretical background to ARC® testing
• Recommended ARC® testing practicesPresenter

Battery Qualification 101
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
Batteries are the most complex and failure prone components in modern devices. To mitigate risks, companies extensively qualify battery cells and packs, a time consuming and expensive process that can lead to delays in product launch if issues are surfaced. Effectively managing time, personnel, and equipment is critical to meeting deadlines while also ensuring products meet safety and performance requirements.
In this webinar, we’ll provide an introduction to battery qualification and show interactive demonstrations of performance qualifications. We’ll also highlight best practices and value-added analytics to ensure that quality issues are surfaced soon as possible so that product release timelines are met.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Discuss the need to qualify batteries
• Discuss the different types of battery qualification
• Introduction to common performance qualifications — rate capability and cycle life among others
• Interactive analysis demonstration, first using traditional tools and then using a Battery Intelligence System
• Best practices to ensure product release timelines are metPresenter

Advanced Techniques For Addressing Issues in Battery Safety and Performance Using Adiabatic Calorimetry
FREE Webinar – THT is a proud sponsor of this event.
Adiabatic calorimetry is a widely utilized technique within the field of battery safety research. The method has been adapted from the chemical industry to address a significant range of safety and performance tests on battery components, cells and even modules.
Although a number of different battery tests may be employed using the ARC, interpretation of results is not always straightforward. Some of the principles which apply to ARC chemical testing do not translate directly to battery testing due to the variable nature of samples.
This presentation describes both the advantages and limitations of ARC testing on batteries and how the ARC test can be adapted to address different questions in battery research as well as quality control.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The principles of adiabatic calorimetry (ARC)
• How calorimetry can be used in battery testing
• What we learn from battery testing by calorimetry
• Pressure measurement and gas collection during thermal runaway
• Advanced testing techniques in adiabatic battery calorimetryPresenter
