A regenerative battery pack test system is a battery simulation device used for testing the functionality, lifespan, efficiency, and general electrical characteristics of battery pack components. Battery pack test systems simulate electrical usage in electric vehicles, defense equipment, grids, and other systems and equipment that use battery packs.
Regenerative battery pack test systems are environmentally friendly as a regenerative battery pack test system can return up to 90 percent of power to the facility which can provide a substantial amount of electrical savings. ATEC carries a comprehensive inventory of regenerative battery pack test systems from industry-leading manufacturers like NH Research and Chroma.
How To Test A Battery Pack
A battery pack test system carries battery modules, connectors, and other electrical components. Regenerative battery pack test systems recycle the energy from the battery back into the charging system, saving the tester on energy costs. Battery test systems can be configured in a series to deliver a custom voltage, power density, or capacity. There are several challenges to battery pack test system testing as there is a very complex and hazardous nature to the industry.
When choosing a battery pack test system, flexible testers that offer precision, speed, and modularity, along with battery emulation and regenerative capabilities are necessary. It is important that a battery pack tester can perform standard power performance, capacity, resistance, and other electrical characteristic measurements. Advanced systems offer features like battery transient analysis and test software designed to streamline the creation of reports.
Battery pack testing can vary based on the specific application, therefore renting a battery pack test system is ideal. There are many benefits to renting a regenerative battery pack test system as there is a high volume of potential complications associated with a battery pack and module testing. Advanced Test Equipment Corporation has decades of experience and expertise in the field of battery pack test systems to provide top-tier equipment to satisfy industry demands.
What are battery cells, modules, & packs?
Battery module and battery pack testing involve minimal testing of the internal chemical reactions of the individual cells. When testing cells, engineers perform electrochemical techniques to study the internal chemical reactions and understand cell materials basics.
- A battery cell - a single device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
- A battery module - contains any number of cells, with connectors, electronics, or extra mechanical packaging.
- A battery pack - has any number of battery modules with additional connectors, packaging, or electronics.
