ANSI C18.3M Part 1 Watch Battery Performance Testing
The ANSI C18.3M standard is a critical guideline in the watch industry for ensuring that watch batteries meet stringent performance and safety standards. This standard specifically pertains to non-rechargeable, single-use batteries intended for use in watches and similar portable electronic devices. The first part of this standard focuses on the initial performance testing of these batteries before they are installed in final products.
The ANSI C18.3M Part 1 test protocol is designed to evaluate several key parameters that ensure battery reliability, longevity, and safety. These tests include capacity retention over time, high-temperature storage stability, and low-temperature discharge capability. The standard also emphasizes the importance of consistent performance across batches of batteries to maintain product quality and consumer satisfaction.
At Eurolab, our team of experts is dedicated to providing comprehensive ANSI C18.3M Part 1 testing services. We understand the nuances of this standard and employ state-of-the-art equipment to ensure accurate and reliable results. Our facility is equipped with precision instruments that can replicate real-world conditions under which watch batteries operate.
Our testing process begins with rigorous sample preparation, ensuring that each battery is in optimal condition before undergoing any tests. Afterward, our team performs a series of detailed tests that measure various parameters such as open circuit voltage, short circuit current, and internal resistance. These measurements are crucial for assessing the overall health and performance of the batteries.
The ANSI C18.3M Part 1 standard also emphasizes the importance of environmental testing to ensure that batteries can withstand extreme conditions. Our facility is capable of simulating both high-temperature storage environments (up to +75°C) and low-temperature discharge tests (-20°C). These tests are essential for validating that the batteries will perform reliably under a wide range of temperature conditions.
The results from these tests are meticulously recorded and analyzed by our team. Our comprehensive reports provide detailed insights into the performance characteristics of each batch of batteries, highlighting any areas where improvements can be made. This data is invaluable for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams who rely on this information to make informed decisions.
Our commitment to accuracy, reliability, and customer satisfaction ensures that our clients receive the highest-quality testing services available in the market. We pride ourselves on maintaining strict adherence to ANSI C18.3M Part 1 standards and using only the most advanced equipment to conduct these tests.
