ISO 12405-4 NiMH Module and Pack Testing for HEV Applications

The ISO 12405-4 standard is specifically designed to ensure the reliability, safety, and performance of Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery modules and packs used in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) applications. This service focuses on comprehensive testing that meets this international standard.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles rely heavily on NiMH batteries for their energy storage needs. These batteries must withstand rigorous operational conditions, including extreme temperatures, high discharge rates, and continuous operation over extended periods. The ISO 12405-4 standard provides a framework to ensure that these batteries meet stringent requirements regarding performance, safety, and durability.

Our testing service ensures compliance with the latest standards while providing detailed insights into how your products perform under real-world conditions. By adhering to this international standard, you can rest assured that your NiMH battery modules and packs will deliver optimal performance in HEV applications.

The testing process involves a series of rigorous procedures aimed at evaluating various aspects of the batteries' performance. This includes voltage stability, internal resistance measurement, capacity retention, cycle life, charge retention, and more. Each test is conducted using state-of-the-art equipment that simulates real-world driving conditions to provide accurate results.

To ensure accuracy and consistency in our testing procedures, we follow all relevant ISO standards meticulously. Our laboratory adheres strictly to these guidelines throughout every step of the process—from specimen preparation to final reporting. This ensures that you receive reliable data about your NiMH batteries' performance characteristics.

The results from this rigorous testing can help identify potential issues early on in the development cycle, allowing for necessary adjustments before mass production begins. Additionally, compliance with ISO 12405-4 provides peace of mind knowing that your products meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
