Abstract
An apparatus for shielding adjacent batteries during testing includes a shell with partitions to form an array of pockets, and a cover with shields. When a cover is placed in a closed position on top of the shell, each shield would contact a corresponding partition to completely isolate two batteries placed in two pockets adjacent to the shield and partition. In this manner, even if a battery catches fire or leaks, the partition and the shield minimizes the effect on an adjacent battery.
