“Test stand drives with accurate application parameters can reduce operating costs, testing time and mitigate safety risks” Battery Module and Pack tests typically evaluate the battery performance, safety mechanisms, cooling systems, and internal heating characteristics.
Engineers also check for any malfunction, temperature rise in the battery pack, current carrying capacity, cooling capacity, and overall mechanical structure. After complete testing, packs may undergo extra testing to simulate the typical conditions and be integrated into the system or end-product.
Battery tests are performed at each phase of the product life-cycle, including R&D, manufacturing, and in-use, to evaluate the overall system design and optimize its performance. Standard tests include drive-cycles, peak power capability, BMS software validation, and application-specific characterization tests.
It enables you to test the charge, discharge, and life cycle testing of EV battery packs and modules. With the help of this system, you can develop your next-generation EV battery packs and modules. The Unico battery test system can be configured as both a battery emulator (or simulator) and a battery tester (or cycler).
Electric vehicle battery testing is critical for evaluating the battery’s condition and overall performance. It involves many challenges because it is complex, time-consuming, data intensive and hazardous. As such battery manufacturers need to explore innovative test solutions for testing battery modules and packs.
Module tests are performed to assess the quality and capacity of each cell integrated into the module. The process includes both charge and discharge tests to ensure the cell connections (in parallel or series) are secure and robust to manage the expected current loads without overheating, weakening, and failing.
