Regenerative Battery Pack Test Systems

A regenerative battery pack test system is designed to simulate and evaluate the performance, lifespan, efficiency, and overall electrical characteristics of battery pack components. These systems replicate electrical usage in electric vehicles, defense applications, energy grids, and other battery-powered equipment. As the demand for electric vehicles grows, battery testing is increasingly associated with EV applications.

One of the key benefits of regenerative battery pack test systems is their energy efficiency. These systems can return up to 90% of consumed power back to the facility, leading to significant energy savings. Avalon Test Equipment offers a wide selection of battery testers from top manufacturers like NH Research and Chroma to meet a variety of testing needs.

Key Features to Look for in a Regenerative Battery Pack Test System

A quality test system includes battery modules, connectors, and electrical components that can be configured in series to achieve custom voltage, power density, or capacity. When selecting a system, look for features such as:

• Precision, speed, and modularity for adaptable testing
• Battery emulation to simulate real-world conditions
• Regenerative capabilities to improve energy efficiency
• Comprehensive measurement functions, including power performance, capacity, resistance, and electrical characteristics
• Advanced transient analysis and test software for streamlined reporting

Since battery pack testing varies depending on the application, renting is a cost-effective and flexible solution. Avalon Test Equipment’s industry expertise ensures that you get the right system for your testing requirements.

Understanding Battery Cells, Modules, and Packs

Battery testing involves analyzing not just the internal chemical reactions of individual cells but also how those cells function within larger components.

• Battery cell: A single unit that converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
• Battery module: A group of battery cells with connectors, electronics, or additional packaging.
• Battery pack: A complete system made up of multiple battery modules with connectors, packaging, and electronic components.
