Abstract
A dilatometer for measuring battery dilation including: a battery cell with a first electrode and a second electrode; an internal magnetic sensing element; and a magnetic force sensor. The internal magnetic sensing element is configured to move in response to expansion the first electrode and remain stationary in response to expansion of the second electrode during dilation of the battery cell. The magnetic force sensor is stationary relative to the battery cell and configured to sense a change in magnetic force strength between the internal magnetic sensing element and the magnetic force sensor. A controller is configured to measure dilation of the first electrode independent of dilation of the second electrode based on the change in the magnetic force strength between the internal magnetic sensing element and the magnetic force sensor.
