Battery and Energy Storage Testing Power Supplies

Delivering precise current and voltage control across charge and discharge cycles, so cycling data reflects the cell's actual behavior, not supply imprecision.

Providing bidirectional, auto-ranging output that sources power during charge and sinks it during discharge without a platform change.

Supplying SCPI-programmable sequencing for complex charge and discharge profiles, rest periods, and pulse testing across long cycle-life studies.

Engineering rack-mountable, multi-channel configurations for labs cycling several cells or packs in parallel.

Cell-level characterization needs high-resolution current and voltage control, since small measurement errors compound across hundreds of cycles in a cycle-life study.

Pack-level and module testing needs higher voltage and current headroom, into the hundreds of volts, with the same precision cell testing demands at scale.

For demanding cycling programs, the IT-M3800 offers high-voltage bidirectional operation, auto-ranging, and SCPI programmability in a compact, rack-mountable format suited to automated test cells.

Abuse and safety testing, including short-circuit and overcharge scenarios, needs power systems engineered with defined protective limits and fast fault response.

Meeting IEC safety and EMI/EMC requirements for battery test equipment, supporting compliant operation around energetic and thermally active cells.

Providing documented accuracy and protective-limit specifications so engineering teams can trust cycling data and safety margins alike.

Adapting catalog platforms for battery and pack test system OEMs, including modified voltage and current ranges, channel counts, rack integration, and extended qualification for the host system.

Engineering custom power architectures where channel count, voltage range, or cycling complexity exceeds catalog limits, delivered under a defined NRE with documented specifications and configuration control.

Supporting production continuity for battery test OEMs shipping at volume, including PCN discipline and obsolescence management so a qualified system's power source does not change without notice.

What gets an engineer to the right supply quickly: voltage and current range across the full charge and discharge window; resolution and measurement accuracy for cycle-life data; bidirectional or sink-only operation; channel count for parallel cell or pack testing; remote interface and protocol (SCPI, LAN, USB, or GPIB) for automated test sequencing; and, for embedded or OEM applications, the host system's power budget and volume.

This is enough for catalog and semi-custom selection. Full custom starts from the same list, feeding an NRE proposal.
