Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Battery and Accumulator Analysis?

  Battery and accumulator analysis is the process of testing the chemical, electrical, and physical properties of products in a laboratory environment. These tests determine energy storage capacity, safety, performance, and environmental compliance. They are critical for manufacturers and importers in terms of quality and legal compliance.

• What is RoHS Analysis?

  RoHS analysis is a test that detects the presence of banned heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and others in electronic and battery products. The goal is to protect human health and the environment and ensure compliance with the European Union RoHS directive.

• Why Are Battery and Accumulator Tests Performed?

  Tests ensure product safety and performance. Chemical content, capacity, charge-discharge efficiency, and safety tests check that batteries meet standards. These analyses increase consumer confidence and are mandatory for export.

• What is a Battery Capacity Test?

  Capacity testing measures the energy storage capacity of a battery. Charge and discharge cycles are applied, comparing nominal values with actual capacity. This test is a critical indicator for battery life and performance evaluation.

• What Are Battery Safety Tests?

  Safety tests include short circuit, overcharge, over-discharge, impact, and temperature tests. Their purpose is to minimize risks such as explosion, leakage, or fire during use. These tests are especially mandatory for lithium-ion batteries.

• What Substances Are Covered in RoHS Testing?

  RoHS testing covers lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), PBB, PBDE, and other toxic and flammable substances. These tests are required to ensure legal compliance in European and global markets.

• Which Standards Are Used for Battery and Accumulator Analysis?

  Battery and accumulator tests follow IEC, UN 38.3, EN 62133, and RoHS standards. These standards define safety, performance, and environmental compliance criteria. Compliance with standards is mandatory in international trade.

• Why Is Lithium Battery Testing Important?

  Lithium batteries carry safety risks due to their high energy density. Laboratory tests prevent explosion, leakage, and overheating. These tests are critical for safe production and legal compliance.

• What Are Chemical Tests for Batteries and Accumulators?

  Chemical tests check for heavy metals, electrolytes, and toxic substances. They are conducted according to RoHS and environmental compliance criteria. These analyses are essential for both human health and environmental safety.

• How Long Does Battery and Accumulator Analysis Take?

  The duration depends on the scope of testing and the number of samples. Simple chemical tests may take a few days, while comprehensive safety and performance tests can take 1–2 weeks. Laboratory capacity is an important factor.

• What Determines Battery and Accumulator Test Prices?

  Prices vary according to test type, sample number, and standard requirements. Safety tests and RoHS analyses are generally more costly. However, accurate testing reduces the risk of non-compliance and potential product recalls.

• Are Tests Mandatory for Imported Batteries and Accumulators?

  Imported batteries and accumulators must comply with RoHS and international safety standards. Test reports may be requested during customs and import procedures, making laboratory analyses essential for importers.

• Which Products Require RoHS Testing?

  RoHS testing is mandatory for electronics, batteries, lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries. Sales in Europe and some global markets are not allowed without compliance certification.

• How Does the Battery and Accumulator Quality Control Process Work?

  The quality control process includes raw material inspection, production monitoring, and final product testing. Laboratory analyses verify performance and safety criteria, ensuring safe and standards-compliant products.

• What is an Accredited Battery and Accumulator Laboratory?

  An accredited laboratory is authorized to perform tests according to international safety and RoHS standards. The reports are officially valid and provide a critical advantage in export and CE certification processes.
