The Electrostatic Discharge Test

Back to Shock

The Method:

Using the same standards set by the International Electro-technical
Commission (IEC61000-4-2), electrostatic discharge tests were conducted
for both contact discharge (10 discharges each at three different voltages,
up to 8kV of both positive and negative polarity) on each battery contact and
for air discharge (10 discharges each at five different voltages, up to 15kV
of both positive and negativepolarity) per the standard.

The Inspection:

Each battery was inspected after every 10 discharges and failed
if it did not charge or power up.
