Battery Cyclers
Our battery test systems will help supercharge your research schedule. Both modular and standalone systems are available up to high powers and voltages.
An isolated bidirectional circuit is formed between the test system and the battery pack. This allows performance issues to be identified and resolved in a repeatable environment. A variety of areas can be investigated including lifetime tests and performance degradation analysis. Abuse tests such as over-voltage, over-charging and forced discharge can also be conducted.
Software is available to record and implement specific charge/discharge cycles. Previous experimental data can be imported and recreated, allowing a selection of common user profiles to be established. Profiles can be ran on automated loops to perform lifetime analysis. Integration with PHIL systems is also possible.
The G5-CYCLER allows users to simulate an AC ripple on a DC battery link. A current ripple can be set up to 10kHz, up to 5% of the nominal system current. Depending on the impedance of the DUT the resulting voltage ripple can be calculated. Alternatively, a ripple can be implemented from an external waveform generator via the analogue interface using a proportional 0-10V signal.
If your premises has limited mains infrastructure, then the LAB-MOBI could be the perfect solution. Each system has up to four independently controllable channels with a common DC link. Power can be directly recycled between channels above the system’s nominal power. For example, a 250kW system can sink up to 1MW from a battery pack in one channel and use the energy directly for charging in the second when back-to-back testing.
