(1) Open-circuit voltage (OCV) measurement of lithium-ion pouch cells, cylindrical cells, and coin cells.

(2) DC internal resistance measurement for cell grading and sorting.

(3) Incoming inspection of battery cells and semi-finished products.

(4) Quality control during cell production, formation, and aging processes.

(5) Electrical consistency evaluation for batch comparison and statistical analysis.

(6) Screening of abnormal cells with high internal resistance or voltage deviation.

(7) Laboratory research and process validation for battery development.
