How to Test a Lithium Ion Battery

At MCM, we understand that lithium ion battery testing and lithium battery testing  are critical for ensuring the safety, performance, and compliance of battery products across a wide range of applications—from consumer electronics to electric vehicles. Our team uses advanced lithium ion battery testers to evaluate capacity, voltage, internal resistance, and long-term durability. Through precise testing and detailed analysis, we help manufacturers meet international standards such as UN 38.3 for transportation and IEC 62133 for safety compliance. This thorough lithium battery testing ensures that batteries operate reliably, are safe to transport, and gain access to global markets without regulatory obstacles.

Comprehensive Testing Procedures for Lithium Batteries

The process of lithium ion battery testing at MCM covers all critical safety and performance parameters. For transportation safety, we conduct tests in accordance with UN 38.3, which includes eight specific procedures:

Altitude Simulation – Evaluating battery performance at low-pressure conditions.

Thermal Test – Checking battery stability under extreme temperatures.

Vibration & Shock Tests – Ensuring mechanical resilience during handling and transport.

External Short Circuit & Impact/Crush Tests – Preventing accidents from mechanical damage.

Overcharge & Forced Discharge Tests – Confirming electrical safety under misuse.

Additionally, when required, MCM conducts a 2m Drop Test and a 3m Stacking Test Report to simulate air transport conditions, ensuring that individual cells and battery packs remain safe under harsh shipping scenarios. These detailed lithium battery testing procedures guarantee that manufacturers receive accurate, internationally recognized results and a valid UN 38.3 transportation certificate.
