Presentation

Developing an integrated EV battery vibration test cell

Electric vehicle battery testing presents unique challenges to OEMs, suppliers and contract test labs as it requires the integration of separate systems to apply multi-axial vibration, cycle current, simulate environmental conditions and ensure the safety of test equipment and personnel. This presentation will explore a fully integrated EV battery vibration test cell developed by Centro Tecnológico de Automoción de Galicia (CTAG) to provide OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers with a turnkey 6DOF MAST solution for validating Li-ion battery packs. An application case will be presented detailing an actual test of an EV traction battery performed in the integrated test cell.
