AVL CELL TESTER™

Master the heartbeat of the battery.

A bi-directional, multi-channel DC power supply to test and validate battery cells.

Video file

To improve and accelerate electric vehicle development, AVL has developed a series of battery cell testers. These are bi-directional, multi-channel DC power supplies that test, diagnose, characerize and validate battery cells. They can achieve an output current that ranges from ± 2 A to ± 2,400 A thanks to their multiple variants and the parallelization of their channels.

The battery cell is the most important component in the electric powertrain, both in terms of cost and performance. To ensure affordable and durable battery packs, it is vital to master the electrochemical processes within the cell. It is therefore crucial to conduct precise, reliable and accelerated cell testing while minimizing the operation of your testbed. 

AVL CELL TESTER

Highest Quality and Accuracy of Testing Results

The AVL CELL TESTER uses a unique current measurement technique providing the best accuracy (0.01 % of actual value) among high current cell testers while using only one current measurement range. This
provides the following benefits:

  • Reduced test programming complexity by avoiding range switching
  • Accuracy is proportional to the output, enabling testing capacity with always the same proportional error
  • Such high accuracy provides more reliable results and reduces test time by enabling accurate coulombic efficiency analysis
Use Cases Details

Cell Development

Its high accuracy and dynamic control enable to test your cells in very precise conditions and obtain accurate results
Cell Validation & System Development AVL CELL TESTER is designed to support cell validation and battery pack development

 

Highest Regenerative Efficiency

With its high regenerative efficiency, both internally between channels and externally between channels and the power grid, it guarantees your operating costs remain low.

Requires Minimum Space

With its ultra-small footprint, it is easy to accommodate our CELL TESTER in your increasingly crowded lab.

Fastest Results

Thanks to its optimized functionalities, you are able to control a high number of channels and a large number of devices, all in real time.

Advanced Energy Management

Thanks to the latest SiC technology, the CELL TESTER has 95% bi-directional efficiency.

AVL CELL TESTER™ 2A 5A 10A

This CELL TESTER 2A 5A 10A achieves an output current ranging from ±2 A to ± 40 A thanks to its numerous variants and the parallelization of its channels. It controls 64 channels with guaranteed real time with a 100 Hz data update rate using AVL LYNX 2™ with adaptable recorders.

AVL CELL TESTER™ 250A

The AVL CELL TESTER 250A achieves an output current in the range of ±250 A to ± 1,500 A. With high control and measurement accuracy, as well as the intelligent use of multiple measurement ranges, it is highly accurate and repeatable. It also includes high-speed data acquisition and control, and super-fast current and voltage dynamics.

AVL CELL TESTER™ 600A

The AVL CELL TESTER is a fully integrated and compatible with the AVL automation software AVL PUMA 2™ Battery and AVL LYNX 2. It uses a real-time EtherCAT interface with a setting and measurement update rate of 1 kHz.
