What is a Cylindrical Lithium Battery?

Cylindrical lithium-ion battery is a lithium ion battery with cylindrical shape, so called cylindrical lithium-ion battery. According to the anode materials, cylindrical li-ion battery are divided into lithium cobalt oxides (LiCoO2), lithium manganese (LiMn2O4), lithium nickel manganese cobalt (LiNiMnCoO2 or NMC), lithium aluminum nickel cobalt (LiNiCoAlO2 or NCA), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12).

There are many types of cylindrical lithium batteries, including 14500, 14650, 18500, 18650, 21700, 26650, 32650, etc. They are widely used in special equipment, medical equipment, instrumentation, handheld equipment, security and communication.

A typical cylindrical battery structure includes: case, cap, positive electrode, negative electrode, separator, electrolyte, PTC element, gasket, anti explosive valve, etc. Generally, the battery case is the negative electrode of the battery, and the cap is the positive electrode of the battery. The battery case is made of nickel steel plate.

Cylindrical Lithium Ion Battery Cell, Module and Battery Pack

In a lithium ion battery pack, for the sake of safety and effective management of hundreds of single battery cells, the cells are not randomly placed in the case of the lithium ion battery, but are arranged in an orderly manner according to modules and packages. The smallest unit is battery cell, many of which can make a module, and several modules can make a battery pack.

Battery cell is the smallest unit of the lithium ion battery pack, and it is also the energy storage unit. It must have a high energy density to store as much power as possible, so that the device can work for a long time. In addition, the life of the lithium ion battery cell is also the most critical factor. The damage of any one battery cell will affect the entire battery pack.

Constitute multiple battery cells enclosed by the same battery case make a module. It connects to the outside by a uniform interface.

When several modules are jointly controlled or managed by BMS and thermal management system, it is called lithium battery pack.

Lithium Battery Cell Safety Test Project

In order to ensure the safety of cylindrical lithium battery, domestic and foreign organizations have formulated various corresponding safety testing standards for cylindrical lithium ion battery. The general testing standards generally divide the safety testing items into the following four categories:

  • Electrical test: over charge, over discharge, external short circuit, forced discharge, etc.
  • Mechanical test: extrusion, puncture, impact, vibration, drop, etc.
  • Thermal test: high and low temperature cycle, combustion, microwave heating, etc.
  • Environmental simulation: high and low pressure simulation, salt spray test, etc.
  • Puncture
    Puncture

    Place a fully charged cylindrical lithium ion battery cell on a plane. Use a steel needle with a diameter of 2.5~5mm to puncture the battery cell and maintain it for 10min. If the battery cell does not fire or explode, it passes the test.

  • Impact
    Impact

    Place the fully charged cylindrical lithium ion battery cell on the impact platform, and drop the 10kg hammer freely at a height of 610mm±25mm to impact the battery cell fixed on the fixture. If the battery cell does not fire or explode, it passes the test.

  • Extrusion
    Extrusion

    Place a fully charged cylindrical lithium ion battery cell on a plane. Use oil cylinder to apply 13± 0.78KN extrusion pressure. Then the battery has plane extrusion by the steel bar with 32mm diameter. If the extrusion pressure reaches the maximum value, and the battery cell does not catch fire or explode, the battery cell passes the test.

  • Forced Discharge
    Forced Discharge

    Discharge the cylindrical lithium battery cell at a constant current to the discharge cut-off voltage according to the standard discharge current, and then put the battery cell in the explosion-proof box. The battery anode is connected to the DC cathode, and the battery cathode is connected to the DC anode.

  • Overcharge Test
    Overcharge Test

    The cylindrical lithium battery cell is fully charged with 1C and overcharged with 10V 3C. When the overcharged battery cell voltage rises to a certain value, it will be stable for a period of time; when the overcharged battery cell voltage is close to a certain time, it will rise rapidly; when it rises to a certain limit, the cap of the battery cell will be pulled off, and the voltage will drop to 0V. If the battery cell does not fire or explode, it passes the test.

  • Short Circuit Test
    Short Circuit Test

    Use a connector with 80mΩ±20mΩinternal resistance to make a fully-charged cylindrical lithium-ion battery cell short circuit on its anode and cathode. Then test the temperature change of battery surface. The highest surface temperature is 140 ℃. Pull off the battery cell cap, if the battery cell does not fire or explode, it passes the test.

  • Thermal Shock Test
    Thermal Shock Test

    Place the fully charged cylindrical lithium ion battery cell in the high temperature cabinet, the temperature is raised to 130℃±2℃ at the rate of (5℃±2℃) /min, and keep the battery cell for 30min. If the battery cell does not fire or explode, it passes the test.

  • Combustion
    Combustion

    Experiment is conducted to determine whether cylindrical lithium battery cell would explode or cause other destructive damage when burning.

Cylindrical, Prismatic and Pouch Cell

Cylindrical Lithium Ion Battery

Cylindrical battery has the longest development time, the most mature technology and a high degree of standardization. Cylindrical lithium battery has mature winding process, high degree of automation, stable quality and relatively low cost.
