Battery Performance Testing
- Capacity Testing: Measures the total amount of energy that a battery can store and deliver. Essential for determining the battery’s range and overall efficiency.
- Energy Density Testing: Evaluates the amount of energy stored in a given volume or mass of the battery. Higher energy density means more energy can be stored in a smaller, lighter battery.
- Cycle Life Testing: Assesses the battery’s ability to undergo repeated charge and discharge cycles without significant degradation. Helps determine the battery’s lifespan and reliability over time.
- Charge and Discharge Efficiency Testing: Measures the efficiency of the battery during charging and discharging processes. High efficiency is vital for reducing energy losses and improving overall performance.
- Temperature Performance Testing: Evaluates the battery’s performance under various temperature conditions. Ensures that the battery can operate efficiently and safely in different environmental conditions.
- Power Output Testing: Measures the battery’s ability to deliver high power output for acceleration and other high-demand situations.
- State of Health (SoH) Testing: Monitors the battery’s overall health and performance over time.
Battery Safety Testing
- Thermal Runaway Testing: Assesses the battery’s ability to withstand and manage thermal runaway events.
- Short-Circuit Testing: Evaluates the battery’s response to short-circuit conditions.
- Overcharge Testing: Examines the battery’s behaviour when subjected to overcharging conditions.
- Crush Testing: Simulates real-world scenarios where the battery may be subjected to mechanical abuse.
- Fire Testing: Evaluates the battery’s ability to resist and manage fire events.
- Vibration and Shock Testing: Assesses the battery’s performance under vibration and shock conditions.
Battery Abuse Testing
- Real-life battery abuse testing ranges across a wide spectrum of probable abuse scenarios.
Battery Transportation Testing
