Is there any publication actually prove that is the minimum thickness for a moisture barrier? Please give me the source if you know. Thanks.

Can anyone supply me with the equations and/or the source (refence material) for determining battery failure rates? Thanks for your help.

Q1: What happens to the magnet during prolonged temperature cycling between normal and above maximum allowable temperature? Q2: Has vibrational stress any influence on the magnetic properties?
