    摘要: A method includes forming a cold plate including conductive material and having a plurality of openings, and coating the cold plate with dielectric coating. The method further includes placing the cold plate proximal to a metal plate including one or more metals, and exposing the cold plate to moisture and/or water. In an example, a minimum lateral distance between the cold plate and the metal plate is at most 0.5 inch. The method further includes, while the cold plate is exposed to the moisture and/or the water, applying a voltage across the cold plate and the metal plate, and measuring a resultant leakage current through the cold plate. A thickness of the dielectric coating on an edge of an opening of the plurality of openings is at least 0.003 inch.

    摘要: Welding plates and a welding system are provided. A welding plate comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprises a plurality of recesses. Each recess comprises an elastomer configured to compress under a force and a tip. A proximal end of the tip is in contact with the elastomer. The elastomer has a durometer rating less than a predetermined threshold. The second portion may be mounted to the first portion. The second portion has a plurality of first openings. Each first opening corresponds to a recess. A respective tip extends through a respective first opening. Each tip is slidably mounted within the welding plate. Each tip has a central opening forming a welding channel.

    摘要: A system for testing thermal runaway in a battery cell includes a first layer of first dielectric material at least in part wrapped around the battery cell, and a wire at least in part wrapped around the first layer of first dielectric material. The system further includes a second layer of second dielectric material at least in part wrapped around the wire, and a power source configured to supply power to the wire. In an example, the first layer of first dielectric material includes a polyimide film, and the second layer of second dielectric material includes mica. The system further includes a temperature sensor in contact with the first layer, the second layer, and/or the battery cell. A controller is to receive a temperature reading from the temperature sensor, and control a power supplied by the power source to the wire, based at least in part on the temperature reading.
