Due to the complex nature of batteries, determining the cause of a failure of a battery-powered device may require expert knowledge across several scientific and engineering areas. Failure analysis is the process of collecting and analyzing data to identify the root cause of a failure.
Battery-powered devices can fail for a number of reasons: battery/cell failure, device malfunction (external to the battery), or failure of the battery management control system integrated into the battery itself or through separate circuitry designed into the device.
A battery or cell failure may be performance (e.g., the lifetime of the battery is not up to the specification), safety (e.g., a cell/battery overheating), or leakage related (e.g., the electrolyte starts to leak from the cell container). The challenge of battery failure analysis is to unambiguously identify the problem's root cause.
The challenge of battery failure analysis is to unambiguously identify the problem's root cause. Failure analysis involves the use and application of a variety of tools the selection of which requires years of experience and technical expertise. It often involves investigating a complex combination of possibilities and conditions.
The failure of a battery protection circuit can have far-reaching consequences, impacting both the performance of the battery and, more critically, the safety of the device or vehicle that relies on it. One of the primary functions of a battery protection circuit is to prevent overcharging and overdischarging.
Cell faults often occur before complete failure and can potentially lead to catastrophic incidents, such as thermal runaway. Predicting thermal runaway is one of the most challenging tasks in battery diagnosis, especially for large-scale EV applications.
Failure modes in lead-acid batteries
Contamination of electrolyte is extremely rare in VRLA batteries and is usually a factory defect. Sedimentation and spalling can occur in an aging battery. Contamination is more of a concern for VLA batteries when periodic replenishment of water to the electrolyte occurs (for example, using tap water instead of distilled water).
