TEST STAND WITH TEMPERATURE SENSORS FOR EVALUATING A MATERIAL INTENDED FOR USE IN A BATTERY AND TEST METHOD USING THE TEST STAND

The invention relates to a test stand (1) for evaluating a material to be used in a battery under conditions that may occur during a thermal runaway, the test stand (1) comprising a housing (10), wherein in an inner space (15) of the housing (10) at least one activatable initiation cell (31), a plurality of cylindrical battery cells (32, 33, 34, 35, 36) and the material to be evaluated being arranged in the interior space (15) or on the housing (10), a first temperature sensor (70a) and at least one second temperature sensor (70b) being arranged in the inner space (15), a distance A1 between the initiation cell (31) and the first temperature sensor (70a) and a distance A2 between the initiation cell (31) and the second temperature sensor (70b) being different from one another. The invention further relates to a test method using the test stand (1).
