I. Purpose and Applicability Battery testing—whether for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, or industrial systems—demands strict safety protocols. One often overlooked but critical element in test chamber safety is the door switch interlock system. This simple yet powerful mechanism helps prevent injuries, equipment damage, and test data corruption. In this article, we’ll explore how door switch […]

Introduction The Arbin Auxiliary Voltage Input Module enables precise, high-resolution voltage monitoring for battery testing applications that require measurements beyond the standard I/V channels. Typical use cases include monitoring individual cell or module voltages within a larger pack, measuring reference electrodes in three-electrode cells, or comparing BMS data with directly measured values. Each module supports […]

As we all know, the batteries’ capacity degrade by cycle of charge and discharge. If we set the charge and discharge current of a fixed value, such as 1A, 2A,… the length of each cycle will gradually decreases, simply because the battery’s capacity decreases: Cycle time = (Charge Capacity + Discharge Capacity)/Current Sometimes users want […]

MTCI Introduction  Arbin’s MTCI (Multi-Temperature Chamber Interface) module offers seamless and sophisticated integration with third-party environmental chambers, enabling direct control of temperature and humidity setpoints from within the Arbin test schedule. This streamlined setup allows test engineers to program and adjust environmental conditions alongside electrical cycling parameters, eliminating the need for separate chamber control systems.  […]

General Description: – Software allows the user to control a test using variables rather than concrete control values (for example, instead of using 4.2V for control, the system can use “Last Step Maximum Voltage” as the control type for the following step. – It is also possible to use these variables in a formula to […]
