Data and videos for the comparison of thermal propagation and cycle performance of multiple lithium-ion batteries in air and insulating oil

Abstract

The propagation test of lithium-ion battery pack was conducted in an environment of air and insulating oil. The test results showed the difference in the phenomenon in which fire propagation to surrounding cells, when a cell composing a battery pack is thermal runaway in two environments. The temperature of the cells in the battery pack was measured during propagation test. A cycle test was also conducted to check whether there was an abnormality in cell performance immersed in insulating oil. The residual capacity and internal resistance, insulation resistance data of the cell are presented in the two environments.
