This roadshow will be covering the Maryland, New Jersey, & Washington DC areas. Don’t miss out on this opportunity for Chroma engineers to come to your facility and walk your team through the features and capabilities of our test instruments and systems. Typical hands-on demonstrations with Q&A take about an hour. Our schedules fill up fast, so we recommend scheduling right now.

As electric vehicle (EV) technology advances, the on-board charger (OBC) has become a core module integrating power electronics and vehicle communications. Because architectures and protocols vary by OEM, test systems face varied and demanding requirements, especially in terms of real-time responsiveness and protocol handling.
Applying a sufficiently high test voltage and detecting electrical flashovers during the test can help to identify defective cells that pose a risk of future internal short circuits (due to partial punctures or perforations in the separator).
As electric vehicle technology advances into the fast charging era, lithium-ion batteries face increasingly severe challenges regarding safety and lifespan under high-rate charging. One of the most critical concerns is the phenomenon of lithium plating—when the charging current is too high or the temperature is too low, lithium-ions fails to intercalate effectively into the anode and instead deposit as metallic lithium on the surface of the graphite.
