External Short-circuiting Test Test method : Cell, fully charged, is to be short circuited by connecting the positive and negative terminals with a total external resistance of less than 50 mohm wire. The test shall be continued until the cell voltage falls below 0.1V and the cell case temperature has returned to a value within 10 C of the original testing temperature. Criteria: No Explosion, No Fire 8.2. Overcharge Test Test method : Cell, fully charged, is charged at a constant current of 3C. Cell voltage increases with time during this step. When the cell voltage reaches 4.6V, the cell continues to be charged at that voltage value while current flow is lower than 5mA and cell temperature descends to room temperature or total test time of 24 hours is reached. Criteria: No Explosion, No Fire 8.3 Nail Penetration Test Test method : Cell, fully charged, shall have a single nail puncture using a stainless steel nail measuring 3.12mm (0.123in) wide, and 76.2mm (3in) long. The nail shall penetrate completely through the cell. Criteria: No Explosion, No Fire 8.4 Heating Test Test method : Cell, fully charged, is to be heated in a gravity convection or circulating air oven.the oven temperature will be ramped at 5 C per minute to 130 C and held at 130 C for 60minutes. 6
