Device for compressing at least a portion of an energy storage cell, and system and method for electrical safety testing

A system for electrical safety testing of a portion of an energy storage cell, comprising:

• a device for compressing at least a portion of an energy storage cell, including:
• a first shell element with a first receiving portion, which is designed to at least partly receive the portion of the energy storage cell;
• and
• a second shell element, which is movable relative to the first shell element between an open position and a closed position;
• wherein, in the open position of the second shell element, the portion of the energy storage cell can be inserted into the device such that the portion of the energy storage cell is at least partly received in the first receiving portion;
• and
• wherein the first shell element and the second shell element in the closed position together define a cavity, which includes the first receiving portion and is designed to hold the portion of the energy storage cell clamped in place in such a way that the portion of the energy storage cell is elastically compressed;
• and
• a device for electrical safety testing including a high-voltage tester.
