Return to Product Safety

Our Motorola Product Testing Services team can provide testing and UL Recognition for your primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) lithium-ion batteries and/or cells under UL 1642. We can provide compliance verification testing for not only single cell applications, but also two or more cells connected in series, parallel, or both. While we can provide full testing capabilities for either application, the test programs required under this standard differ based on whether your cell is a technician and user replaceable battery or cell applications.

Depending on the type of cell that you are interested in testing, the test program will be a modification of a base set of tests using different charge states and usage conditions (fresh and cycled cells). The basic set of tests falls into four categories Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical and User-replaceable battery testing.

The breakdown of testing is as follows:

Electrical

  • Short-circuit at room
  • Short-circuit at 55°C
  • Abnormal charge
  • Discharge

Environmental

  • Heating (130°C)
  • Temperature cycling
  • Altitude simulation

Mechanical

  • Crush
  • Impact
  • Shock
  • Vibration

User-replaceable battery testing

  • Projectile

At Motorola Product Testing Services, we have full testing capabilities for all of these tests. Our technical expertise and competency have been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories and we are able to provide full certification services with them for all testing under UL 1642. Due to the volatile nature of testing lithium-ion products, our team uses state of the art safety chambers with remote data acquisition systems and video recording of most testing in this standard. This allows us to provide you with optimal testing capabilities in a safe and regulated environment.
