Abstract

Due to rising safety requirements for lithium-ion batteries, the detection of mechanical failure of such batteries is becoming increasingly important. As publications investigating electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of lithium-ion battery cells under deforming mechanical abuse as a potential damage detection method are sparse, this work presents tests with stepwise loading of 18,650 lithium-ion battery cells with various impactors (nails, cylindric, hemispheric) and simultaneous EIS measurements to search for indicators which could be used to anticipate hazardous events. The occurrence of different damage mechanisms of the jelly roll is evaluated via computed tomography (
