Scope and Methodology
The scope of our ASTM F3388 UAV Battery Safety Testing includes evaluating the performance, durability, and safety of lithium-ion batteries used in unmanned aerial vehicles. This service encompasses a range of tests designed to assess various parameters including electrical characteristics, thermal stability, mechanical integrity, and resistance to abuse conditions.
- Overcharge Test: Simulates what happens when a battery is exposed to prolonged charging beyond its normal limits.
- Over-discharge Test: Evaluates the behavior of a battery when discharged below its nominal voltage.
- Short Circuiting Test: Tests the ability of a battery to handle short circuits without causing internal damage or hazardous reactions.
- Thermal Abuse Test: Exposes a battery to extreme temperatures to determine if it can withstand such conditions safely.
Each test is conducted meticulously following ASTM F3388 guidelines ensuring consistency and accuracy. Our team monitors all tests closely, recording data points throughout the process to ensure compliance with specified criteria. Once completed successfully, we issue detailed reports summarizing findings and any areas requiring further attention or improvement.
