ISO 12405-1 Lithium-Ion Battery Performance Testing for Hybrid EV Applications
The ISO 12405-1 standard is a critical benchmark in the testing of lithium-ion batteries used in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications. This service ensures that batteries meet stringent performance criteria, which are essential for reliable and safe operation within HEVs. Compliance with this standard helps manufacturers ensure their products perform efficiently under real-world conditions.
The test evaluates various parameters including charge retention, capacity fade, and cycle life of the lithium-ion batteries. These metrics are crucial in ensuring that the battery maintains its performance over time and continues to meet the vehicle's electrical requirements throughout its lifecycle. The ISO 12405-1 standard is particularly important for HEVs because it addresses the unique challenges associated with hybrid systems.
Battery performance testing under this standard involves subjecting batteries to a series of controlled charging, discharging, and conditioning cycles. These tests simulate real-world driving conditions, including stop-and-go traffic patterns common in urban settings where HEVs are frequently used. The data collected during these tests provides insights into the battery's efficiency, longevity, and reliability.
During testing, batteries undergo both static and dynamic stress conditions to evaluate their performance under various load scenarios. This includes full charge-discharge cycles, partial discharge cycles, and deep discharge cycles. These tests help identify any potential weaknesses in the battery’s design or manufacturing process that could lead to premature failure. The results of these tests are critical for ensuring that batteries meet the stringent requirements set by ISO 12405-1.
The data generated from this testing is used to optimize battery performance and extend its operational life, thereby reducing maintenance costs and improving overall vehicle efficiency.

The scope of our testing under ISO 12405-1 includes evaluating various parameters such as charge retention, capacity fade, and cycle life. These metrics are critical in assessing the performance of lithium-ion batteries used in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).
Charge retention is measured by determining the percentage of charge retained by the battery after a specified period. This test simulates real-world driving conditions where the vehicle may be parked for extended periods, such as at home or work.
Capacity fade refers to the decrease in battery capacity over time due to repeated charging and discharging cycles. This metric is crucial in assessing the long-term performance of batteries used in HEVs, which are frequently charged and discharged during normal operation.
Cycle life is determined by the number of full discharge-charge cycles that can be performed before the battery's performance degrades to a specified level. This test simulates the typical usage pattern of HEVs, where the battery is repeatedly cycled through charging and discharging processes.
The methodology for conducting these tests involves subjecting batteries to controlled charging, discharging, and conditioning cycles. These tests are designed to simulate real-world driving conditions, including stop-and-go traffic patterns common in urban settings where HEVs are frequently used.
During testing, the temperature of the battery is closely monitored to ensure that it remains within specified limits. This helps prevent overheating, which can cause damage to the battery and reduce its performance over time.
The results of these tests are analyzed using advanced software tools to provide a comprehensive picture of the battery's performance under various conditions. These analyses help identify any potential weaknesses in the battery’s design or manufacturing process that could lead to premature failure.
