ISO 18243 EV Lithium-Ion Battery Testing for Light Electric Vehicles
The ISO 18243 standard is a crucial benchmark for ensuring the reliability and safety of lithium-ion batteries in light electric vehicles (EVs). This service focuses on providing comprehensive testing services that adhere to this international standard, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Lithium-ion batteries are at the heart of e-mobility, driving innovation across various sectors such as transportation, logistics, and urban mobility.
The process begins with detailed specimen preparation, which involves thorough quality checks on each cell or module before testing. This ensures that only pristine specimens enter the test phase. The testing itself is meticulous, requiring sophisticated equipment to simulate real-world conditions accurately. This includes temperature cycling, charge-discharge cycles, and abuse tests like overcharging, overdischarging, and short-circuiting.
Our state-of-the-art facilities use advanced instrumentation such as battery analyzers and calorimeters to monitor critical parameters during testing. These include voltage, current, internal resistance, and thermal behavior. The data collected is meticulously analyzed to ensure that the batteries meet not only ISO 18243 requirements but also exceed them where possible.
Compliance with this standard ensures that batteries perform reliably under various operating conditions, which is essential for light electric vehicles. The testing process also helps in identifying potential weaknesses or areas for improvement, thereby enhancing the overall performance and safety of these vehicles.
The service covers a wide range of test parameters, including but not limited to: capacity retention, charge efficiency, self-discharge rate, and thermal stability. These tests are critical for ensuring that the batteries meet the stringent requirements set by ISO 18243. The standard is designed to ensure that lithium-ion batteries used in light electric vehicles have a high level of safety, reliability, and performance.
Our team of experts ensures that all testing processes are conducted with precision and accuracy, leveraging our extensive experience in battery technology and e-mobility. This service not only helps manufacturers meet regulatory requirements but also provides valuable insights into the performance characteristics of their batteries.
