Interim & Second-Life Battery Inspection
Assessing Battery Health for Reuse Applications
Comprehensive Battery Health Assessment
CDO2's current density imaging technology provides critical capabilities for assessing the health and capacity of batteries in service or for second-life applications. As electric vehicle batteries reach the end of their automotive useful life, our technology helps determine their suitability for stationary energy storage, backup power, or other reuse scenarios.
This assessment is essential for:
- Evaluating remaining capacity and performance capabilities
- Identifying internal degradation and damage
- Assessing safety for continued use
- Determining optimal reuse applications based on condition
- Predicting remaining useful life in second-life applications
Battery Condition Analysis
Our current density imaging system analyzes the current flow patterns within used battery cells and packs to provide detailed insights into their condition. This analysis reveals:
- Cell balancing: Analysis of capacity and performance variation across cells in a pack
- Connection integrity: Assessment of electrical connections within the battery pack
- Safety assessment: Detection of conditions that could lead to thermal or electrical safety issues
This non-invasive assessment can be performed on batteries in their installed state or as part of a systematic evaluation process when batteries are removed from vehicles or energy storage systems.
