Can you use clear tape to insulate a battery?

The general interpretation of the USDOT and USEPA regulations is to use clear tape to fully insulate all lithium battery terminals, and all terminals for other battery chemistries over 9 volts. Do not ever mix any damaged batteries with other batteries designated for disposal. Call a hazardous waste provider when managing damaged batteries.

Why do you need a tape for your EV battery?

For example, in an EV battery our tapes do not only efficiently connect the cells to the cooling system, but also prevent sensitive components from short circuits by realizing excellent grounding or, as part of a laminate, help protect against fire.

Why should you use multifunctional tape in the battery manufacturing process?

Using multifunctional tape solutions in the battery manufacturing process combines multiple benefits: They offer immediate and strong adhesion and thus fast handling and add functionality in just one product.

Why should you use Lohmann adhesive tape for lithium ion batteries?

Lohmann offers multifunctional adhesive tape solutions and high-precision die-cuts for thermal and electrical management of Li-Ion batteries. Safety, reliability and efficiency over the whole lifetime of the lithium-ion battery and hence the bonded joints are paramount.

How do you store a battery?

One of the easiest ways to store batteries is to order prepaid mail-back recycle kits from EZ on the Earth. These kits are covered by a special USDOT permit to allow for the mixture of some battery chemistries providing the batteries are not damaged and the terminals are properly taped.

How can a PET film protect a battery from dielectric breakdown?

For the electrical insulation of sensitive battery components and effective protection against dielectric breakdown, Lohmann offers various single- or double-sided PET films. They can be applied to metal parts of the battery, e.g., on side panels, cell housing or battery case components.
