The positive electrode is LiMn<sub>1/3</sub>Ni<sub>1/3</sub>Co<sub>1/3</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, the negative electrode is graphite, and the separator is PP-PE-PP or coated PE or coated nonwoven. At the fully charged state of 4.3V, a 4.5mm diameter nail was pushed into the cell at a penetration speed of 20mm/s. The results of the nail penetration test varied significantly depending on the type of separator.
