AGING LAB

Cell Characterization & Testing Under Well-defined Conditions

Testing Under Well-defined Conditions

Battery performance and aging strongly depend on operating and environmental conditions. The AGING LAB enables customized testing under controlled temperatures, electrical loads, and pressure conditions.

Conditions

  • −40 to 70 °C
  • Up to 1200 A
  • Up to 100 V
  • Up to 1 MPa applied pressure
  • Cells and modules
  • 50+ channels for electrical tests

Testing in an ISO Certified Laboratory Environment

We execute tests under real conditions simulated in an ISO 9001 and TISAX certified laboratory environment, providing insight into cell responses and performance analysis of degradation mechanisms.

Analysis & Evaluation

Our analysis and evaluation services include performance analysis of capacity and power fade, as well as traceable data processing, documentation, and reporting. We also investigate deviations from datasheet specifications and other anomalous behavior to identify potential performance, quality, or safety concerns.

Model development and parametrization

Based on experimental data, we develop and parametrize state-of-the-art battery models, including equivalent-circuit models that account for capacity fade and power degradation. We also support the empirical parametrization of electrochemical models and investigate advanced modelling approaches that extend beyond established state-of-the-art methods.

Measurements of Cell Breathing & Swelling

In addition to the electrical cell testing, we also offer measurements of the cells’ volume change in our customised and patented measurement set-ups. The measurements can be done on lab-scale pouch cells under controlled pressure and temperature.
