TEST STANDARD REQUIREMENT
38.3.4.1 Test T.1: Altitude simulation
38.3.4.1.1 Purpose
This test simulates air transport under low-pressure conditions.
38.3.4.1.2 Test procedure
Test cells and batteries shall be stored at a pressure of 11.6 kPa or less for at least six hoursat ambient temperature (20 ±5 °C).
38.3.4.1.3 Requirement
Cells and batteries meet this requirement if there is no leakage, no venting, no disassembly, no rupture and no fire and if the open circuit voltage of each test cell or battery after testing is not less than 90% of its voltage immediately prior to this procedure. The requirement relating to voltage is not applicable to test cells and batteries at fully discharged states.
