The rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, power Battery as a key energy storage device, its performance and security have attracted much attention. In the process of research and development and production of power batteries, it is necessary to use a variety of professional equipment for testing to ensure the stable, safe and reliable performance of the batteries. This article will introduce the main equipment needed for R & D and production of power battery testing.

I. Appearance inspection equipment

in the production process of power battery, visual inspection equipment is used to inspect the battery shell, connector, insulation material etc parts to ensure that the appearance is complete, no damage, no foreign matter, etc. Typical visual inspection equipment includes high-definition cameras, microscopes and surface inspection instruments.

II. Size measuring equipment

size measuring equipment is used to verify whether the geometric size of the battery meets the design requirements, including parameters such as length, width and thickness. Commonly used size measuring equipment includes coordinate measuring machine, laser range finder and Digital caliper, etc.

III. Battery capacity and energy density testing equipment

battery capacity and energy density are important indicators of power battery performance, and special equipment is needed for testing. Common devices include constant current discharger, electrochemical workstation and battery capacity measuring instrument, which are used to measure the actual capacity and energy density of the battery.

IV. Cycle life and charge and discharge performance test equipment

cycle life and chargingThe discharge performance test equipment is used to simulate the performance of the battery under different charge and discharge cycles. The cycle life test equipment includes constant temperature and humidity cycle box and charge and discharge test equipment, which are used to evaluate the cycle life and charge and discharge performance of the battery.

V. High and low temperature performance testing equipment

high and low temperature performance testing equipment is used to simulate the performance of batteries under extreme temperature conditions. Common equipments include constant temperature and humidity test box, high and low temperature cycle box and thermal shock box, which are used to evaluate the charging and discharging performance and cycle life of batteries at different temperatures.

VI. Safety performance testing equipment

safety performance test equipment is used to evaluate the safety performance of batteries in unexpected situations, including short circuit tester, overcharge test equipment, overdischarge test equipment, etc. These devices can simulate the safety performance of batteries under abnormal conditions to ensure that they will not have safety accidents such as thermal runaway and explosion.

VII. Environmental adaptability testing equipment

environmental adaptability test equipment is used to evaluate the performance of batteries under different environmental conditions, including humidity tester, vibration test bench and corrosion thermal shock test chamber, etc. These devices can simulate the performance of the battery in various operating environments to ensure its stable and reliable operation.

VIII. Safety certification test equipment

finally, the power battery also needs to carry out relevant safety certification tests, such as CE certification, UN38.3 certification, UL certification, etc. These test equipments are usually provided by certification bodies to verify whether the batteries meet the safety requirements of international and industry standards.

Need for R & D and production of power batteriesUse a variety of professional equipment for testing, covering appearance, performance, safety and other aspects. The use of these devices can ensure the quality and safety of power batteries and provide strong guarantee for the reliable operation of electric vehicles and energy storage systems. It is hoped that there will be more innovative equipment and technologies in the future to provide more comprehensive and accurate support for power battery testing.
