Description / Abstract:
This SAE RP provides a set of test methods and practices for the
characterization of the properties of Li-battery separator.
The test methods in this RP have been grouped into one of three
categories:
1. Manufacturing parameters: Minimum set of separator properties
to be measured
2. Chemistry/Customer specific parameters: Properties that are
dependent on the application, customer needs and/or requirements,
manufacturing process etc. This RP will include the current best
practice methodologies for these tests, with an understanding that
the best practice methodologies are evolving as more information is
learned.
3. RD parameters: Properties that are dependent on the
application, customer needs and/or requirements, manufacturing
process etc. The methodologies in this 3rd section are
under development and have not yet achieved broad application.
It is not within the scope of this document to establish
criteria for the test results, as this is usually established
between the vendor and customer.
