Thermamax performs crash test on battery housing

The Tmax-Battery Housing was developed to provide the highest security in case of accident. It’s crash-resistant, which means it minimizes mechanical deformations (e.g. in case of collisions) and thus reduces the danger of possible electrical short circuits that might lead to fires.
To integrate the safety features in the development process, a computer model of the battery housing was created and simulated via CAE in the Thermamax Simulation Department.
Thermamax performed a crash test in its own test lab in order to verify the simulation. The purpose of this test was to analyze how the housing behaves under crash conditions. The test provided empirical values as verifications that could be used as the basis for additional calculations in the computer model. This method ensures that well founded safety features are integrated into the product development from the start.
