Abstract: Lithium-ion batteries are common batteries in electric and hybrid vehicles. During their lifetime, the batteries will be subjected to vibrations; therefore, vibration testing is demanded by several standards. These standards differ when it comes to frequency range, acceleration levels, etc. From a vibration testing perspective, a battery pack is a complex object built as a large construction containing many small electric compounds. Therefore, the standards might vary depending on the objective of the test. Vibration measurements have been carried out in electric and gasoline vehicles during driving. These measurements are compared with the test severities proposed by the standards. It is found that the vibration test should be performed in three directions, and must contain a wide frequency content well above 200 Hz performed during one test or divided into two separate tests. This is not consistent with many of the existing standards today.
