DETROIT – AVL has launched the AVL Cell Tester ECO, a compact air-cooled, multi-channel battery cell cycler. The announcement was made today at The Battery Show in Detroit.
The AVL Cell Tester ECO is available in 12A, 50A, 100A, 300A or 600A power classes with 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48 and 72-channel cabinet configurations. This is significant for battery labs because it allows the user to appropriately size the equipment to fit their project.
The AVL Cell Tester ECO can be easily integrated into existing labs or can be paired with an AVL climate chamber, cell fixtures and automation software to create a turn-key battery cell testing solution. Appropriately named “AVL Battery Cell TS™”, this integrated standard cell test system comes pre-assembled and pre-commissioned on a fixture. This optimizes space and streamlines lab layout. This standardization also helps reduce overall cost and facility size.
“The innovative packaging of the AVL Battery Cell TS is a major benefit of this new testing system,” said Joseph Strelow, President, AVL Test Systems, Inc. “For the first time, battery cell cyclers, a climate chamber, and cell fixtures come pre-assembled, allowing for a streamlined lab layout and reconfiguration. Customers are going to appreciate the efficiency of this standardized pre-manufactured and pre-commissioned product.”
When paired with AVL’s industry leading software suite for test automation, lab management and data analytics, users can facilitate precision data acquisition, monitoring and analysis of hundreds of battery cell channels. This simplifies lab operation and consolidates battery research and development into one easy-to-use integrated system.
