1. Test Equipment:
ASQ-700/0900001, KEITHLEY2700/0280002, KDB-1200/0040026
2. Purpose:
This test assesses the robustness of batteries against cumulative shocks.
3. Test Conditions:
Test batteries shall be secured to the testing machine by means of a rigid mount which will support
all mounting surfaces of each test battery. Each battery shall be subjected to a half-sine shock of
peak acceleration depending on the mass of the battery. The pulse duration shall be 6 milliseconds
for small batteries. The formulas below are provided to calculate the appropriate minimum peak
accelerations.
* Mass is expressed in kilograms
The relationship between minimum peak acceleration and mass is illustrated in Figure 38.3.4.1 for
small batteries.
