Up to 58 battery cells (6V/ 50A) and two battery packs (100V / 100A) can be tested simultaneously using five state-of-the-art battery test stations. Furthermore, three electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analyzers are available for dedicated tests. All the battery testing is carried out in twenty climatic and temperature chambers of various dimensions, which besides offering increased safety, allow reliable temperature control in the range -30°C to 80°C. Moreover, a word-class isothermal calorimeter is available for determining the thermal behavior of batteries.

Using a 16-cells battery emulator, commercially available or prototype BMSs can be tested and debugged in a safe environment.

The Battery Systems Test Lab can be used by academia and industry as a powerful tool for enhancing the understanding of behaviour of batteries in real-life applications. In fact, the lab allows for various activities, from battery electrical and thermal characterization to battery lifetime testing and lifetime estimation, which subsequently facilitates the battery screening process and development of optimized battery energy management strategies.
