Listen to Dr. Diganta Das discuss "Counterfeit and Rewrapped Lithium-ion Batteries in Market and their Relationship with the Supply Chain" at the Symposium on Counterfeit Parts and Materials
Bio: Dr. Diganta Das(Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, B.Tech, Manufacturing Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology) is a member of the research staff at the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering. His expertise is in reliability, environmental and operational ratings of electronic parts, uprating, electronic part reprocessing, counterfeit electronics, technology trends in the electronic parts and parts selection and management methodologies. He performs benchmarking processes and organizations of electronics companies for parts selection and management and reliability practices.
His current research interests include electronic parts supply chain, counterfeit electronics avoidance and detection, light emitting diode failure mechanisms, cooling systems in telecommunications infrastructure and their impact on reliability, and power electronics reliability. In addition, Dr. Das is involved in prognostics based risk mitigation of electronics.
Abstract: There have been many credible reports of sales and trade in counterfeit and rewrapped batteries in the industry. These batteries are often of lower quality – resulting in shorter life and safety concerns. In addition to defrauding customers, these batteries can undermine the reputation of brand holders. This presentation will present various counterfeit lithium-ion battery related issues that are unique to batteries and battery supply chain. Difficulties with detection and supply chain management for batteries are discussed along with recommendations for brand holders/original battery manufacturers, equipment manufacturers and consumers for avoiding becoming victim to such batteries.
