Why Does Lithium Battery Homologation Take More Time?

Is Your Cell Phone Battery Really Safe? Learn about Act 3484.

The Regulation Setting the Standard

The homologation process for lithium batteries is governed by Anatel's Act 3484. This regulation approves strict technical requirements and testing procedures. It evaluates the compliance of these essential cell phone components. This rule exists precisely to ensure batteries meet the highest safety and performance standards before reaching consumers.

Two Critical Testing Phases

Homologation follows a well-defined protocol divided into two main phases:

  1. Safety Tests: Evaluate potential risks and battery behavior during critical situations.
  2. Electrical Tests: Measure component performance and durability over time.

Why Electrical Tests Demand Months

Here is the crucial point: electrical tests cannot be arbitrarily accelerated. The required time does not depend on the laboratory's schedule. Instead, it depends strictly on what the technical standard demands.

The procedure involves 300 complete charge and discharge cycles of the battery. These cycles always respect the specifications provided by the manufacturer. During this period, the equipment constantly monitors battery aging. It measures how its capacity naturally degrades over time.

We rely on state-of-the-art equipment to execute multiple processes simultaneously. This ensures guaranteed quality and precision.
