Get a Charge Out of Testing EV Batteries

VISTA, Calif. - Aug. 1, 2023 - PRLog -- Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that covers the different units that can meet the needs of the large batteries used in modern EVs, specifically when it comes to testing the battery's charge capacity and operating lifetime. It's important to note that having access to suitable test equipment has played a major role in the development of high-density DC electric power packs capable of adding many miles to the ranges of modern EVs and HeVs.

Battery packs for EVs are energy storage systems comprised of many small cells. Each section of the battery pack contributes electric power to the whole and all the sections are designed for high power and high reliability. EV battery packs do degrade in performance over time, eventually losing the capability to hold the original amount of energy during a recharge cycle. Testing an EV battery for charge capacity is one way to understand its capabilities at that time and to project its operating lifetime to reach a given charge capacity. EV battery capacity testing can be performed according to a manufacturer's guidelines or per regulations set by technical organizations, such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Test equipment for EV batteries must meet or exceed the voltage, current, and power levels absorbed and dissipated by a battery during its charge and discharge cycles, respectively.
