Proven Measurement Solutions for Electric Vehicle Battery Technology

Testing and validating new cells are essential for the development of electric vehicle batteries. This involves conducting charging and discharging cycles at varying temperatures in protected climate chambers that require extensive instrumentation. Moreover, the materials and designs of batteries are tested and optimized for environmental conditions and safety through safety, life cycle, and abuse tests. 

A battery pack comprises cells, modules, and a battery management system (BMS), which is responsible for the battery's safety and performance. In this webinar, we will present some examples of how cells, modules, and packs can be electrically, mechanically, and thermally tested. We will also cover the function of battery management systems and their testing. 

Join us in exploring proven measurement solutions for electric vehicle battery technology. 

Agenda: 

• Solutions for testing cells, modules and whole battery packs. 

  • Electrical: short circuit, overcharge, deep discharge… 

  • Mechanical: vibration, forced discharge… 

  • Thermal: swelling, overtemperature… 

• Structure of a battery management system and different test set-ups
