Ensure adequate minimum clearances between the inserted batteries for heat dissipation. The minimum
distance in the chamber between individual cells must be dimensioned in such a way that activation of
additional cells as a follow-up reaction is safely excluded in the event of a start reaction of an individual cell.
The customer must take their own safety precautions to ensure that the batteries cannot
exceed a temperature of 90°C.
The chamber does not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
DANGER
Explosion or implosion hazard and danger of poisoning by introduction of unsuit-
able loading material.
Poisoning. Serious injury or death from burns and / or explosion pressure.
∅
Do NOT introduce any combustible dust or air-solvent mixture into the chamber.
∅
Do NOT introduce any substance which could lead to release of toxic gases into the
chamber.
∅ DO NOT insert other types of battery, such as lead batteries, into the chamber.
ONLY lithium-ion batteries are permitted.
∅ Do NOT carry out destructive tests (“abuse tests”).

Ensure a minimum clearance between individual cells.
2.3.2 Operation with the max. Expectation of an EUCAR event with hazard level 3
In the event that the user tests cells, modules, or systems with a higher energy content than that of an
individual 18650 cell with LIT MK 240 or of three cells with LIT MK 720, the maximum expected damage to
the test object may be consistent with EUCAR hazard level 3.
There is no fire development, no containment measures are necessary.
2.4 Tests with EUCAR hazard level 4 to 6
2.4.1 Requirements for the chamber load
ONLY lithium-ion batteries are permitted for aging and performance tests on cells. Do NOT insert other
types of battery, such as lead batteries, into the chamber. NO modules or systems may be inserted, i.e.,
cells must not be interconnected.
Without customer-supplied flushing/inertization, only the following cells may be inserted into the chamber:
•
LIT MK 240: a single individual cell of type 18650
• LIT MK 720: up to three cells of type 18650
