Making Lithium-ion Batteries Meet MIL-STD-810
The military standard MIL-STD-810, “Department of Defense Test Method Standard for Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests” specifies the equipment’s environmental design and test limits that it will experience throughout its service life, and establishes test methods used to measure the effects of the environment on the equipment. MIL-STD-810 Testing addresses a broad range of environmental conditions that include; low pressure for altitude testing, exposure to high and low temperatures, temperature shock (both operating and storage), rain (including wind blown and freezing rain), humidity, fungus, salt fog for rust testing, sand and dust exposure; leakage, acceleration, shock and vibration. MIL-STD-810 is typically specified for military products, but commercial products will commonly reference aspects of MIL-STD-810 as well. Custom batteries can be built to meet all the requirements, but the more challenging requirements for batteries include immersion, shock and vibration, high temperature performance, and low temperature performance. This white paper will focus on overcoming these design challenges for handheld and portable batteries.
