Guide to Non-Destructive Battery Testing

Expert CT Analysis

Our dedicated team of CT specialists are able to distinguish subtle anomalies that may go undetected by generalists. From microcracks in electrode tabs to advanced insights on electrolyte infiltration paths, you’ll receive complex volumetric data interpretation and  insights to protect your products and your reputation.

Industrial Capacity, Laboratory Precision

With multiple Zeiss CT systems, we offer a range of scanning resolutions and throughput options to match your needs. Whether you’re inspecting high volumes of cylindrical lithium-ion cells or a single prototype of a sodium-ion pouch battery, we deliver results with speed and repeatability.

Future-Proof Technology

Just like batteries, out toolset is always evolving. Leverage our cutting-edge, X-ray based CT  inspection systems to access the latest capabilities for:

• EV battery inspection (including prismatic, pouch, and cylindrical cells)
  
• Lithium battery failure analysis (internal short detection, delamination, swelling)
• Thermal damage analysis after abuse or lifecycle testing
• Small electronics battery inspection (AirPods, wearables, hearing aids)
• Solid-state and lithium-sulfur battery scanning
• Tab misalignment, electrolyte voids, dendrite formation, weld quality checks

No need to overhaul your in-house setup—we evolve our equipment so you don’t have to.

• Design Validation: Validate electrode stacking, tab welding, and electrolyte filling without destructive sectioning.
  
• Manufacturing QA: Ensure consistency in cell structure, alignment, and material distribution across production lots.
• Post-Failure Analysis: Diagnose swelling, leakage, or catastrophic failure down to the microstructure.
• Competitive Benchmarking: Reverse engineer competitor products non-destructively.
• R&D of Next-Gen Batteries: Test new materials, formats, and chemistries under controlled, non-invasive conditions.
