Scope and Methodology
| Test Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Capacity Retention | Determines the percentage of initial capacity retained after specified cycles. |
| Internal Resistance Measurement | Metric for assessing electrical efficiency and potential heat generation issues. |
| Voltage Distribution Among Cells | Evaluates uniformity in voltage across individual cells within a module. |
| Thermal Runaway Detection | Monitors temperature rise to identify conditions leading to thermal runaway. |
| High-Temperature Storage | Exposes the module to elevated temperatures for extended periods. |
| Charging/Discharging at Different Rates | Evaluates performance under various charging and discharging scenarios. |
| Variability in Temperature and Humidity Conditions | Assesses adaptability to fluctuating environmental factors. |
The testing process begins with a thorough inspection of the battery module, followed by initial charging and conditioning. Once ready, the module undergoes multiple cycles of charging and discharging under controlled conditions. During these cycles, various parameters are continuously monitored and recorded. After completing all prescribed tests, detailed reports are generated, summarizing the results for each parameter.
The methodology adheres strictly to NF EN 62660-2 requirements, ensuring that every test is conducted in a consistent manner across different batches of modules. This consistency allows for meaningful comparisons and trends analysis over time. The use of advanced instrumentation ensures accuracy and repeatability, making the testing process both reliable and reproducible.
Our laboratory maintains strict quality control measures to ensure that all tests are performed accurately and consistently. Regular calibration of equipment is conducted to minimize any potential errors or inconsistencies. Additionally, our team of experts continuously updates their knowledge through ongoing training and certification programs aligned with international standards.
