Battery Test Solutions
Chroma satisfies battery test requirements such as charge rate, discharge rate, state of charge (SOC), and state of health (SOH), and depth of discharge (DoD) with your need for accuracy in measuring voltage, current, temperature and power – statically and dynamically.
Battery cell, module and pack level charge/discharge cycle testing solutions designed to provide high accuracy measurement with advanced features. Most of our solutions are regenerative – so energy sourced by the battery back is recycled back to the channels in the system or to the grid. Systems are configurable and flexible with multiple channel capabilities that can be upgraded as testing requirements change.
Chroma offers ultra and super capacitor charge/discharge testing systems with high precision output and measurement up to 0.02%. Satisfy IEC 62391 EDLC test requirements with a high sampling rate of 10ms. The modularized multi-channel architecture offers both flexibility and expand-ability, catering to cycle test requirements. It is capable of supporting various charge/discharge test modes such as CV (Constant Voltage), CC (Constant Current) and CP (Constant Power).
Fuel cells produce power by combining hydrogen fuel and oxygen electro-chemically and are extremely efficient and environmentally friendly. With that said, fuel cell technology has yet to reach the mainstream and requires further development. Chroma’s battery test platforms are engineered and well-equipped to support fuel cell research and design validation for efficiency, power, and characteristics.
Battery simulation software for testing battery connected devices in all applications to confirm if the device under test in performing as intended. Integrated with our 17020, 17030, and 17040 bidirectional battery testers, battery state is simulated if the battery is not available for testing and eliminates waiting for the charge/discharge of an actual battery. Real time test results include voltage, current, power, SOC%, charge/discharge state and capacity.
Chroma offers several other new solutions for developing safe batteries. An example of this would be if battery cells are connected to a module with inadequate insulation, the battery cell or module may short due to insulation materials failure. Our electrical safety testers support AC/DC hipot, leakage current (LC), insulation resistance (IR), and partial discharge (PD) at very high speed and accuracy to ensure the quality and safety of cells and modules before they go to the next level of production.
A Better Insulation Test: Decreasing Risk of Electrical Shorts in Lithium Ion Battery Cells
This video covers new testing procedures and equipment to monitor voltage and current in order to detect minor partial discharge or flashover inside the cell resulting in lower risk to the manufacturer and end user.
