Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Isothermal Battery Calorimeter (IBC), a range of systems designed to quantify heat release and battery performance across various battery types, including Coin Cell, 18650, 26650, 21700, Prismatics, Modules, and Complete devices. The IBC is crucial for studying battery stability, performance, efficiency, and life cycle by characterizing heat during charging and discharging due to internal impedance.

Isothermal Battery Calorimeter Variants
The IBC is available in several variants to accommodate different battery sizes:
  • IBC Cylindrical: Suitable for single chamber up to 26650 with inserts for 21700 and 18650. It operates within a temperature range of -5°C to 60°C and a dynamic range of 200µW to 10W.
  • IBC-CC Coin Cell: Features sample and reference chambers up to 2032, with a temperature range of -5°C to 60°C and a dynamic range up to 500mW.
  • IBC-PL Large Prismatic: Accommodates battery sizes up to 300 x 300 x 40mm, with a temperature range of -30°C to 60°C and a dynamic range of 200mW to 100W.
  • IBC-Air: Designed for electronic components with a chamber size of 450 x 400 x 300mm, operating within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C and a dynamic range of 500mW to 100W.

Measurement Capabilities
The IBC systems measure heat release influenced by factors such as chemistry modification, applied load, size and shape, state of charge, environmental temperature, and age. They are suitable for heat capacity measurement, cycling, and isothermal tests.

Data and Graphs
The document includes graphical data illustrating heat rate, current, and voltage during charge and discharge cycles for different battery types, highlighting the performance and heat generation characteristics.

Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for each IBC variant, including temperature ranges, dynamic ranges, chamber sizes, and additional features like N2 purge and external cycler terminals. It also lists the distribution offices worldwide, including contact information for the UK, USA, India, and China.

Conclusion
The IBC systems offer comprehensive solutions for analyzing battery heat release and performance, essential for efficient thermal management and battery lifecycle assessment.
