SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INSPECTING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF BATTERY PACK

Abstract

A system configured to assess structural integrity of a battery pack component. The system includes: a tub configured to receive the battery pack component therein; a cover configured to sit on the tub and the battery pack component within the tub, and form a seal against both the tub and the battery pack component, thereby defining a reservoir between the tub, the cover, and the battery pack component; a pump configured to pump a gas into the reservoir through an inlet at the tub; and a sensor configured to detect a leak of the gas through the battery pack component from the reservoir, the leak corresponding to an area of the battery pack component having structural irregularities.
