Ensure UN 38.3 Compliance with BONAD’s Explosion-Proof Battery External Short Circuit Tester

Ensure Battery Safety & Global Compliance with BONAD’s UN 38.3 External Short Circuit Tester

Lithium-ion batteries power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles (EVs), but their energy density poses safety risks like thermal runaway, fire, or explosion if terminals short-circuit accidentally. Rigorous safety testing isn’t optional—it’s a global compliance imperative. Enter BONAD’s UN 38.3 Battery External Short Circuit Tester (Model: BND-BEST), engineered to simulate real-world short-circuit scenarios and validate battery safety under stringent international standards.

Why Choose BONAD’s Explosion-Proof Tester?

As a leading China-based manufacturer, BONAD delivers precision test equipment trusted by R&D labs, certification centers, and EV/ESS manufacturers worldwide. Our tester replicates external short circuits via adjustable resistors (5 mΩ to 80 mΩ), triggering controlled failures while capturing critical data to assess hazards like venting, rupture, or thermal runaway.
