Battery Testing Capabilities

Battery testing includes simulating the abuse a battery can take across a number of conditions including installation, transportation, aging over time and also it’s hardiness to operate as expected while maintaining physical integrity in environmental conditions such as earthquakes, averse temperatures, flooding, and fire.

We understand that time to market is everything which is why our global battery certification capabilities and custom testing solutions utilize the latest technology and automation software to help you identify hazards, minimize risk, maximize accuracy to reduce testing cycles and most importantly validate the physical integrity and safe performance of your battery products for faster turnaround time market.

We help you ensure cell and battery compliance to attain the certifications needed for your demanding time-to-market needs. Our streamlined testing process ensures your batteries are in accordance with government, regulatory, or industry standards based on your compliance needs.

Our testing and certification capabilities include:

  • IEC/UL 62133 Safety of Lithium Ion Batteries
  • UL 2054 Safety of Household and Commercial Batteries

Expertise and world-class facilities to meet your development schedule & compliance needs for market acceptance.
