Product Overview

ET500 battery pack leak tester (LP) is the latest high-accuracy nondestructive testing equipment developed by Smartsafe. It mainly uses compressed air as the medium to apply specific pressure to the inner cavity or surface of the battery to be tested and then uses sensitive sensors to detect the variations of pressure to determine the leakage of the battery pack. It can improve customer testing efficiency and product quality with pollution-free, quick, and accurate testing characteristics in the new energy industry.

Product Features

  • High-sensitivity pressure sensing significantly improves test accuracy and stability.
  • A 7-inch touch screen visually displays the test progress and data.
  • Display the progress time of each stage during the test.
  • The pressure dial and the test curve will be displayed on the same screen in real time.
  • The system automatically memorizes the last test parameters, which is convenient for the next test modification and improves efficiency.
  • Parameters such as workpiece number, volume, pressure, time of each stage, and leakage limit can be preset.
  • The tester will prompt audible and visual alarms to ensure safety when the test is abnormal or failed.

Main Function and Test Range
Mainly used for the leakage test of battery packs.
System Components
The tester consists of a main unit, an AC power cord, and air pipe.
The main unit includes display screen, data processing unit, data acquisition unit, and panel operation unit.
