Battery Cell Tester BCT
The compact battery cell test system consists of a combined, dual cabinet system, consisting of a temperature test cabinet with cooling / heating unit and an LE cabinet (power electronics). The LE cabinet is attached to the rear of the temperature test cabinet. An intermediate zone is used for thermal separation and for routing cables up to the through-hole plating in the temperature chamber. The system is suitable for battery cells up to 1,000 mm and a maximum weight of 80 kg / layer.
The temperature control cabinet is equipped with 5 layers, whereby the layers can be individually removed for external equipment. The contact with the power electronics takes place automatically at the end position of the layer.
