This SAE Recommended Practice provides a set of test methods for characterizing lithium-ion battery electrolytes. These test methods are applicable to existing electrolyte materials and allow different facilities to conduct testing in a common manner.

Solid electrolytes are expected to be commercially used for large scale batteries in the future. However, characterizing solid electrolytes may require methods different from those contained in this document. Such methods are not addressed in this document.

It is not within the scope of this document to establish acceptance criteria for test results, as this is usually established between the vendor and customer. It is also not within the scope of this document to examine the electrochemical properties of an electrolyte, since these are influenced by electrolyte composition. In addition, establishing an electrolyte composition appropriate for all applications is not feasible.

This specification covers metallic-encased gaskets with and without inlays.

This specification covers a petroleum base material in the form of a liquid.

This specification covers a petroleum-base solvent in the form of a liquid.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) describes two classes of lubricants which, when properly applied, can be used in oxygen systems and components.

The purpose of this standard practice is to define a method that shows equivalence of other methods for measuring the level of contamination of soluble salts on surfaces to the Bresle patch method defined by ISO(1) 8502-9.1 This standard practice provides a way to establish equivalence by testing and comparing results of the tests to meet established criteria that would be achieved using the method specified in ISO 8502-9. Equivalence is evaluated at three salt levels (30 mg/m2, 50 mg/m2, and 85 mg/m2) on three surface conditions (grit blasted steel, zinc silicate preconstruction primer on steel, and rusted steel).
