Depending on the application, there are different types of batteries with a wide range of properties. The best known: Lithium-ion batteries. They are used in many electronic devices and electric vehicles (EV battery, electric vehicle battery). There are also a large number of different cell chemistries that are constantly evolving. Cell chemistries lead to heterogeneous battery properties, which is why precise characterization is also mechanically important. Cell formats, such as cylindrical, prismatic and pouch cells, offer a variety of advantages and disadvantages in terms of energy density, space requirements and performance. Selection of the right battery type and cell format therefore always depends on the specific requirements of the respective application. In summary, it can be said that there is a wide variety of different approaches in the field of battery development and production. Therefore, the availability of a wide range of test methods is also necessary.
