NOVI, Mich., Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The importance of
quality tests for high-performance electric-vehicle batteries will
be discussed at the upcoming Automotive Testing Expo by INFICON, a
leading developer, producer and supplier of leak-detection test
equipment.

forum on Tuesday morning, Oct. 24 at

to fires and even explosions.

available for testing high-performance lithium-ion battery packs.
Currently, there are many questions concerning quality-control
standards for EV batteries, but the proper application of available
test methodology can ensure overall battery performance, quality
and safety.
