The Chroma 11210 Battery Cell Insulation Tester

With the new Chroma 11210 battery cell insulation tester, we have taken another step forward in guaranteeing quality and safely produced battery cells.

This insulation tester is specially designed to detect irregularities early in the production process of Lithium-ion battery cells and super-capacitors. Manufacturers can easily filter out potentially dangerous cells with the Chroma 11210. These tests increase the product quality of batteries and prevent possible internal short-circuits during commissioning, resulting in explosion and fire. Among other things, impurities in the mounting of the poles to the anode and cathode foils are difficult to detect and represent a potential hazard over time.

The Chroma 11210 battery cell insulation tester can be used manually or in automated systems. It measures the leakage current (LC) and insulation resistance (IR) of dry-cell batteries and other insulation materials. In addition to the standard LC/IR measurement, the 11210 has a unique function that detects partial discharges or voltage drops that can potentially occur in the insulation material. With this partial discharge (PD) detection, the battery’s internal status can be tested even before the electrolyte is added. This allows defective products to be filtered out before they enter the next stage of production and, more importantly, before they reach the market.

The Chroma 11210 has a wide range of output voltages, from 1V for testing mobile phone battery cells to 1000V or 50mA for testing high voltage, high charge applications. The leakage current measurement ranges from 10pA to 20mA. Each cell test can be completed in 20ms, ensuring fast throughput in the production process.
