Detect unstable Li-ion batteries

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

BRADY CORPORATION offers a new, more cost-efficient solution to quickly detect unstable Li-ion batteries in storage.

Able to automatically measure 0,5°C temperature differences per second, the solution provides the accuracy and speed needed to isolate unstable batteries before they become a safety risk.

Brady’s new battery temperature monitoring solution involves 3 components: self-adhesive battery- free UHF RFID labels with embedded temperature sensors, RFID readers with up to 16 antennas, and a customisable RFID software platform.

The self-adhesive UHF RFID-embedded labels can be applied inside battery cell boxes for fast temperature change detection. Alternatively, every battery cell can be labelled with Brady’s on- metal, printable UHF RFID labels to enable more elaborate advantages in Li-ion battery supply chains.

With almost continuous, automated and accurate temperature monitoring, warehouse stakeholders can receive early warnings via sms, email or even racking warning lights. They can be guided in time to specific warehouse locations for unstable Li-ion battery isolation. Alternatively, Brady’s software platform API can also trigger an autonomous vehicle to automatically remove an unstable battery.
