Q1: What grade is recommended for battery electrolyte use?
A: Use battery/electronic-grade DEC with very low moisture (e.g., < 10 ppm water) and low acid/halide content; request a battery-grade CoA showing residual water, acids and trace metals

Q2: How is DEC typically blended in electrolyte formulations?
A: DEC is usually blended with cyclic carbonates (e.g., ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate) and linear carbonates (e.g., EMC) along with lithium salts to balance viscosity, conductivity and low-temperature performance

Q3: How should battery-grade DEC be stored?
A: Store in sealed, moisture-barrier containers, ideally under nitrogen or with minimal headspace, in a cool, dry area to prevent moisture pickup and preserve low-water specifications
