Thermal property measurements of 18650 cells for the Space Shuttle Orbiter Advanced Hydraulic Power System (AHPS, formerly known as EAPU) have been performed. Cells were measured from three commercial manufacturers: E-One MOLI (12 cells), Panasonic (5 cells) and Sanyo (5 cells). Thermal property measurements of the MOLI 18650 cells included measurements of specific heat, self discharge (microcalorimetry), overcharge response and thermal runaway by accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC). The Panasonic and Sanyo cells were measured only for thermal runaway response in the ARC at increasing states of charge (3.8V, 4.0V, 4.2V, 4.3V).
