The future of the automotive industry lies in electric propulsion and many global automakers have chosen lithium-ion batteries to power their vehicles. As new battery plants are commissioned and constructed in the U.S., it’s important for battery manufacturers to incorporate leak testing into their manufacturing operations. Often, the performance challenges, product failures and fires associated with EVs can be traced back to leaks in the lithium-ion EV battery system. These risks can be virtually eliminated with leak detection testing during battery production.

Leak detection is a standard process in the majority of manufacturing operations to ensure products meet high performance and quality standards. For lithium-ion traction batteries, leak detection is imperative for battery performance, longevity and safety, especially the prevention of fires.
