Battery Quality - quality at the core
A comprehensive quality system for a lithium-ion battery factory involves various elements to ensure the production of high-quality and reliable batteries.
In DLN Energy, the responsibility for product quality issues lies jointly with the technical department and the quality inspection department.
The process is as follows:
- The marketing department determines the product type.
- The technical department handles the design, development, and evaluation, ultimately setting the quality standards.
- The quality inspection department rigorously manages the entire process to ensure that the produced batteries meet or exceed the quality standards set by the technical department. They collect feedback on quality information and data, and address any after-sales issues.
The specific composition of our quality system is as follows:

some of our special testing
Vibration Test for Lithium ion Battery
- The battery is tested with a simple tuned vibration of 0.8mm amplitude.
- The vibration frequency changes at a rate of 1Hz/min within the range of 10-55Hz, and recovers within 90-100min.
- The battery vibrates along three mutually perpendicular directions. For cells with only two axes, the cell shall be tested perpendicular to each axis.
- At the end of the test, the sample will not catch fire, explode or leak.
Evaluation of the performance and stability of lithium batteries under vibrational conditions is essential to determine whether they can operate safely and reliably during transportation or usage.
The details are as follows:
1) Reliability Assessment
By simulating the vibrational conditions that batteries may encounter during actual transportation or usage, it is possible to verify if the battery’s structure and connections are sufficiently secure, thus preventing malfunctions caused by vibrations.
2) Performance Stability
For applications requiring prolonged operation or functioning in vibrational environments, this testing ensures that the battery can maintain stable electrical performance under vibrational conditions.
3) Safety Evaluation
Vibrations may lead to the displacement or damage of internal components within the battery, increasing the risk of battery failure. Testing helps identify potential safety hazards, ensuring that the battery does not pose a danger in vibrational environments.
4) Transportation Compliance
In some countries and regions, the transportation of lithium batteries is subject to specific regulations. Vibrational testing ensures that lithium batteries comply with transportation standards, reducing the likelihood of accidents during transport.
5) Product Optimization
Through vibrational testing, feedback on the design of lithium batteries can be obtained. This aids in continuous improvement of the product’s structure and manufacturing processes, enhancing durability and adaptability.
