Performance

Performance of UL2054 Certification

5.1 LiPo batteries are to be tested as described in Sections 9 through 24. Section 12, Forced-Discharge Test, is applicable only to lipo cells intended to be used in multi-cell series applications, such as lipo battery packs. The Battery Enclosure Tests, Sections 18 — 21 (including the 250 N Steady Force, Mold Stress Relief, and Drop Impact Tests) are intended only for batteries that have a plastic outer enclosure.

5.2 With the exclusion of the Projectile Test of Section 22, lipo cells and batteries shall not explode or catch fire as a result of the tests in this standard. For the Shock Test, Section 16, Vibration Test, Section 17, 250 N Steady Force Test, Section 19, Mold Stress Relief Test, Section 20, Drop Impact Test, Section 21, and the Temperature Cycling Test, Section 24 the samples shall also not vent or leak. For these tests, unacceptable leakage is deemed to have occurred when the resulting mass loss exceeds the values shown in Table 5.1, Venting, and Leakage Mass Loss Criteria.

5.3 Deleted August 12, 2008

5.4 Certain end product devices require that the power output of a lipo battery be limited. The Limited Power Source Test described in Section 13 is to be used to determine whether a lipo cell or battery is suitable in such applications where fire hazards may otherwise exist.

Samples of UL2054 Certification

6.1 Unless otherwise indicated, new lipo cells or batteries in the fully charged state are to be used for the tests described in Sections 9 – 24. The test schedule and the number of samples to be used in each analysis are shown in Tables 6.1 and 6.2, for cell testing and battery pack testing, respectively.

6.2 When a lipo battery pack is tested in accordance with Table 6.2, the lipo cells comprising that battery pack shall also be tested in accordance with Table 6.1 if they have not already been.

6.3 All lipo batteries shall be wholly charged in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s specifications prior to testing except for the samples to be subjected to the Abnormal Charging and Abusive Overcharge Tests, which shall be discharged to the manufacturer specified endpoint voltage using the manufacturer specified current prior to testing.

Important Test Considerations of UL2054 Certification

7.1 As some lipo batteries explode in the tests described in Sections 9 — 24, it is crucial that personnel be protected from the flying fragments, explosive force, sudden release of heat, chemical bums, and noise results from such explosions. The test field is to be well ventilated to protect the organization from possible harmful fumes or gases.

7.2 The temperatures on the surface of the lipo battery casings shall be monitored during the tests described in Sections 9, 10, 11, 14, and 15. All personnel involved in the testing of batteries are to be instructed never to approach a lipo battery until the surface temperature returns to ambient temperature.

7.3 The tests described in Section 22, Projectile Test, shall be conducted in a separate room or room equipped with an adequate safety barrier separating the test area from the observer.

Temperature Measurements of UL2054 Certification

8.1 Temperatures are to be contained by thermocouples consisting of wires not larger than 24 AWG (0.21 mm2) and not smaller than 30 AWG (0.05 mm2) and a potentiometer-type instrument.

8.2 The temperature measurements on the lipo batteries are to be made with the measuring junction of the thermocouple held tightly against the outer casing of the battery.

10.2 LiPo batteries discharged to the battery manufacturer’s estimated capacity are to be used for this test. The lipo batteries are to be tested in an ambient temperature of 20 ± 5°C (68 ± 9°F).

10.3 Each wholly discharged test sample battery is to be subjected to a charging current of three times the current lc, designated by the battery manufacturer, by connecting it in opposition to a dc-power supply. The test time is to be calculated using the formula: in which it is the charging time in an hour. C is the capacity of the lipo cell /lipo battery in ampere-hours, and lc is the maximum charging current, in amperes, particularized by the battery manufacturer. The minimum charging time is to be 7 hours.

 Exception: At the battery manufacturer’s preference, test currents more significant than the specified three times rated Ic can be applied to expedite the test timeframe, with the minimum charging times as seven hours.

10.4 When a protective device that has been examined for the purpose, actuates during the test, the test shall be repeated with the battery supply connected to the maximum load that does not cause the protective device to open.

Charging duration is the time required to reach the manufacturer’s specified end-of-charge condition plus seven further hours.

10.9 A lipo cell is to be tested without the assistance of protective devices unless such protective mechanisms are either integral to the cell constructions or have been investigated for the purpose. A piece of re-settable protective equipment that actuates during the test shall be allowed to reset, and the examination shall be resumed, cycling as often as necessary to complete the test. When a protective device operates during the test (whether re-settable or not), the test is repeated with the same charging time, but with the lipo cell connected to the maximum load that does not cause the protective devices to operate. A piece of protective equipment that is not integral to the cell, and that has not been investigated for the purpose is to be short-circuited.

10.10 Secondary lipo battery packs shall comply with 10.11 — 10.13.

10.11 The lipo batteries are to be tested in an ambient temperature of 20±5°C (68±9°F). A thermocouple is to be attached to the lipo cells of each test sample battery. Each lithium-ion battery shall be discharged at a constant current of 0.2C/1 hour, to a manufacturer specified discharge endpoint voltage.

10.12 Each of the test sample batteries are to be subjected to the following overcharge states, in sequential order. a) The lipo battery is to be initially charged using a constant current charging mode with a current limit of three times the highest current Ic, particularized by the battery manufacturer until the maximum specified charger output voltage is reached. At that point, the lipo battery is to be charged with a constant maximum specified charger output voltage and a current limit of three times the maximum current Ic. Charging duration is the time required to reach the manufacturer’s specified end-of-charge condition plus seven additional hours. The temperature on the lipo cell casing shall be monitored. A re-settable protective device such as a PTC that actuates during the test shall be allowed to reset, and the examination shall be resumed, cycling as often as necessary, but no less than ten times, to complete the test. Automatic reset devices are allowed to cycle during the trial. When an overcurrent protective device operates during the trial, the test is repeated with the same charging time, but with the battery connected to the maximum load that does not cause the protective devices to operate. b) The charge condition in accordance with (a) shall be conducted with each single component fault that is likely to occur in the charging circuit and which would result in overcharging of the battery. Exception No. 1: A protective device determined to be reliable may remain in the loop without being faulted. See 2.4 and Appendix A. Exception No. 2: For batteries without protective devices, the overcharge condition(s) in (b) does not apply.

10.13 The lipo batteries shall not explode or catch fire. For lipo battery pack samples, tests shall not result in chemical leaks caused by cracking, rupturing, or bursting of the internal cell casing.
