Newly developed batteries are tested for durability and lifespan. Third-party tests offer reliable and unbiased performance verification to improve credibility and consumer confidence.
The most dominant technology being deployed in recent years across the electric grid are battery energy storage systems (BESSs), which interconnect to both distribution and transmission systems.
Battery testing is a series of measurements, stress tests, and diagnostics performed on a battery to specify vital parameters affecting overall function and performance. Examples of such specifics include determining battery charge capacity, resistance and impedance, longevity, discharge rate, heat generation, safety, overall robustness, and more.
The exact analyses that are carried out for testing will vary depending on what kind of battery is being analyzed (e.g., lithium-ion vs. nuclear batteries), as each has unique parameters and potential shortcomings relevant to their desired applications.
Standard battery testing procedure includes numerous direct and indirect measurements to analyze normal operating parameters related to power, longevity, durability, etc. Battery safety testing is also important, as it provides crucial information on any short and long-term risks associated with normal battery operations.
Regardless of battery type, the most important part of any testing procedure is to ensure that test conditions are explicitly specified so that any obtained results can be repeated and contrasted with other battery tests to draw meaningful comparisons.
