Leading the way in battery failure analysis for energy security.
Gexcon's expertise in diverse battery chemistries and their applications facilitates efficient failure analysis, allowing for the swift identification of the root causes behind battery failures.
Battery failure experts
Gexcon offers comprehensive failure analysis tailored to a diverse range of industry-specific battery applications, including individual battery cells, modules, packs, and energy storage systems.
Our experts handle all aspects of battery failure incident investigations, including forensic investigation, root cause analysis, preventive strategy development, and expert witness services for ongoing litigations.
Using advanced techniques, our team performs elaborate evaluations to understand the root causes and impacts of battery incidents (e.g., toxic, fire, and blast hazards; flammable organic electrolyte; thermal runaway; outgassing).
Furthermore, our incident investigators work closely with Gexcon's testing engineers who have been heavily involved in conducting battery testing experiments, with a particular focus on thermal runaway, allowing us to gain comprehensive insights into battery chemistry.
