Build Better EV Batteries
Watch experts break down the latest advancements in electric vehicle (EV) battery development and testing that are enabling more affordable batteries with higher capacity and fast charging capabilities.
Develop and deploy EV batteries faster with less risk
Battery cell design and test
Ensuring the EV battery pack delivers peak performance starts at the cell level with the characterization and analysis of each cell. Impedance testing provides early warning of potential cell weakness or abnormal deterioration, which can lead to battery failure. Earlier detection of these issues can improve battery safety, durability, and cost.
Keysight's potentiostatic measurement technique reduces the time needed to discern good versus bad cell self-discharge performance from days or weeks to minutes or hours—speeding up cell analysis, design cycles, and manufacturing so you can get to market faster with less risk.
High-power battery pack design and test
The EV battery pack is a complex system involving high voltages and currents, electrical and mechanical components, a cooling system, and a battery management system. As the EV ecosystem evolves, the battery management system must be able to account for a broader range of real-world scenarios to ensure safe battery operation and to help extend battery life.
Keysight's emulation solutions help battery designers test real-world scenarios faster and more accurately. By relying on emulators instead of actual devices, developers can test for dynamic, electrical, and climatic stress in a controlled lab environment. Synchronized control of all battery pack components and automated test plans provide better insights earlier, enabling designers to improve designs sooner in the development process.
Set up your EV lab for success
EV battery cell test solution
Ensuring the EV battery pack delivers peak performance starts at the cell level by characterizing and analyzing EV battery cells. The Keysight EV battery cell test solution classifies cells based on their state of health (SOH) over a broad frequency range and with high sensitivity. A bidirectional power supply charges and discharges cells under test with very high efficiency. The solution supports all cell types with an output power of up to 3.6 kW and a voltage range of up to 6 V.
EV battery module test solution
Evaluate the performance and quality of interconnections between the battery cells and battery modules. The Keysight EV battery module test solution provides a comprehensive environment for developing and analyzing EV batteries. The solution offers both a sink and source with 20 – 300 V, 100 – 750 A, 2 – 68 kW, and 16 channels for battery modules.
High-power EV battery pack test solution
Comprehensively testing a high-power EV battery pack to improve its functions and safety requires realistic emulation of the EV's operating environment.
