Battery Cyclers / Analyzers

Rechargeable (secondary) batteries in real-world applications are charged and discharged many times until they reach end of life. Examples of this are batteries used in cell phones, PCs, power tools, and automotive applications. After multiple charge/discharge cycles, cell performance starts to degrade. The batteries typically require charging more frequently until eventually they reach end of life and need to be replaced, with the original cells either being scrapped or repurposed.

High performance battery cyclers enable tests to be reliably and accurately run using highly repeatable test sequences, enabling comparison between different battery chemistries and materials. Cycling tests may be performed over long time periods to validate battery lifetime performance, or may even be accelerated using higher test levels than experienced in real-world applications.
