Sandia Researchers Test Lithium Ion Batteries to the Limit to See How Much Abuse They Can Take

Researchers in the Power Sources R&D group at Sandia National Laboratories have been driving nails into batteries, heating them to extreme temperatures, overcharging them, and putting them into some of the most adverse conditions possible to see how much abuse they can take before they blow up. And for certain types of lithium-ion batteries the answer is a lot.
