Multi-axis Shaker

Our software-controlled 10 kN multi-axis shaker can be loaded with a weight of 300 kg and test sliding sine, superimposed sinus and shock pulses. It enables us to identify the structural safety and vibration durability of our battery pack designs to withstand various scenarios encountered in the manufacturing, assembly, transportation and use phases execution.

• Payload up to 300 kg
• Rated sine excitation force up to 10 kN
• Shooting table for patterns up to 0.5 x 0.5 m
• Frequency range from 5 to 3,000 Hz

Thermal Vacuum Chamber

Our 255L inside capacity thermal vacuum chamber can be used to perform low-pressure (high-altitude) testing on battery packs in accordance with the EN, IEC and UN Manual of Test and Criteria for air transport. It allows for the simulation of space and upper atmosphere conditions including temperature and altitude to make sure our battery packs excel even in high altitude environments.

• Temperature range 10 to 200 °C
• Pressure range -100 kPa
• Tolerance of ±1.0 °C after stabilization
• Vacuum Bake Out systems available

Twin-column Tensile Tester

Our advanced software-controlled higher-capacity tensile tester is an ideal bench-top device for medium to large battery pack tensile force simulation according to the most demanding industry standards and real-world conditions.

A wide range of tensile grips, bend jigs enables the tester to conduct challenging customized tests, such as verifying the durability of our in-house developed power connectors through more than 10,000 insertions.

• Measuring forces up to 50 kN (11,000 lbf)
• Speed range 5 to 500 mm/min
• Crosshead travel 1000 mm
• Load accuracy ±0.5% of full scale depending on load cell selected

rapid-rate Climate Chamber

Our fast ramp rate climate chambers are able to carry out two types of temperature testing that while similar in name, are very different in their actual procedures. Both thermal cycling testing and thermal shock testing require bringing a product to two different temperature extremes but where they deviate is the time it takes to reach those extremes. By rapidly exposing the battery pack to two drastically different temperatures we can test to find potential failures and as well as testing the battery pack ability to cope with the different climatic zones.

• Fast temperature ramp rate 5°C/min (Linear Control)
• Temperature range from -40 to 150°C
• Humidity range 20% to 98% RH
• Temperature Uniformity ≤2°C
• Temperature Accuracy ±0.3°C

Salt Spray Chamber

Our salt spray test chambers are used to perform corrosion testing, and use high-saline environments to measure the corrosion resistance of our battery pack designs. By simulating a highly corrosive atmosphere with a predetermined amount of time, temperature and humidity, we can see the impact of years of corrosive exposure (specific climates or working conditions) within 96 hours.

• Inside capacity 270 L
• pH Value NSS ACSS 6.5~7.5 / CASS 3.0~3.2
• Air pressure gauge accurate to 1±0.01kgf/cm
• Following ATSM, JIS, CNS and GB

Battery Abuse TEST Bunker

Safety is always a critical concern when it comes to lithium-ion batteries. Our 4 channel battery abuse test bunker helps us to safely perform rigorous safety evaluations on our own battery pack and third party battery cells.

In these tests, we would push the battery packs and battery cells to their limits in order to assess their safety performance and failure mechanisms, which help us to develop strategies and techniques to mitigate battery pack performance and system failures.

• CO₂ fire suppression equipment
• Stainless-steel pressure relief flap installed
• Enhanced door-locking mechanism with reinforced brackets
• Temperature-monitored and history log
