Specialized equipment

Cell interconnect methodology

We have quantified various interconnect methods in a decision matrix based around more than 16 years of real application experience.  Safe and reliable cell interconnect process without causing cell damage is mission critical for all battery systems.

01

Equipment specifications and vendor support

We provide guidance on tool specifications and user techniques and skills needed to achieve success in analysis, testing, processes, and equipment for battery, motor, and related component validation manufacturing.

02

Battery production line repeatability, quality, process safety audits

Our team has been instrumental in establishing successful battery manufacturing lines globally for our clients.  Our team serves as an asset for new lines or during existing established lines looking to streamline and reduce manufacturing fall-out.

03

Additional offerings

Cell Services

We cover many tests that our clients may not have the time or resources to adequately cover. This includes heat capacity and thermal conductivity, and destructive testing in our state-of-the-art calorimeter.

Material Science

We can prevent costly product recalls and brand damage. Through many years of hard earned lessons, we’ve seen the interplay between electricity and humidity saturation cause dielectric degradation and failures.

Testing

We focus on collecting the most challenging and high-value data. Our team members have experienced many painful test failures, so our client testing can be completed smoothly and safely.

Specialized equipment

We have acquired or built specialized equipment. A few examples of our capabilities include: 5,000A constant current source, quantify thermal energy spikes precisely, and imbed temperature sensors and voltage tap points of interest inside live cells to cycle them under forced temperature gradient fixtures.

Consulting

We tailor an agreement specifically for our clients. Our knowledge base spans a wide variety of topics in the industry. We aim to work with technical teams to enhance their ability to succeed in our mutual endeavors.

Forensics

We have a best-in-industry track record at determining root-cause failures. Our recreation of event ignition kinetics validate forensic assumptions in our lab. If a product can be made to store energy, it can release energy in unintended and destructive ways.
