In addition, during the extraction of the electrolyte, the external environment cannot be strictly controlled, and the electrolyte is often accompanied by irrelevant factors such as easily oxidized external gas and moisture. Furthermore, the needle is a conductor, and when it is inserted into the battery shell, it is easy to pierce into the internal battery, causing short circuit and even piercing the battery to the hand, which has great safety hazards. Therefore, the battery liquid preservation capacity test tool proposed in the embodiment can be used to take out the electrolyte in addition to the test work of the embodiment 1. Specifically, in the embodiment, the pricked battery needs to be hung on the hook 17, the air in the tank is pumped to form negative pressure in the tank, and the electrolyte in the battery flows out from the pricked position, and the collected electrolyte is collected by the liquid collecting box 3.
