The first of the two distinct dips in the plot may have been missed using inferior test equipment. While many companies try to sell the same legacy equipment for over a decade, Arbin has been hard at work improving our designs to meet future industry demands. We learned a lot during our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/arpa-e.energy.gov\/technologies\/projects\/ultra-precise-battery-tester\">three year ARPA-E project<\/a><\/strong> to develop high-current high-precision testers, and have implemented this new technology in our <a href=\"\/battery-research\/laboratory-battery-tester-with-integrated-chamber.html\"><strong>LBT<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"\/battery-testing\/rbt4-cell.html\"><strong>RBT-Cell<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"\/battery-research\/high-precision-battery-tester-with-integrated-chamber.html\"><strong>HPS<\/strong> <\/a>test equipment series. The HPS ultra-high precision systems represent our premium product, but LBT is superior to other standard testers on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Measurement precision is more critical for long\u2010term battery testing and long\u2010term battery projections than control accuracy alone. Most other battery testing systems do not correctly specify their precision and\/or have relatively poor precision, which hinder the conclusions drawn from results data. Important trends and electrochemical indicators may remain unnoticed; lost in the measurement noise as illustrated at right.<\/p>\n\t<strong>What Affects Test Equipment Precision<\/strong><br \/>\nResolution of DAC<br \/>\nResolution of ADC<br \/>\nNon-linearity of calibration<br \/>\nShort-term drift (temperature)<br \/>\nLong-term drift (material characteristics)\n\t<b>Arbin Test Equipment Improvements<br \/>\n<\/b>Higher Resolution<br \/>\nImproved Software Algorithms<br \/>\nNew Methods of Thermal Management<br \/>\nNew Patented Shunt Design<br \/>\nNew Method of Time Keeping<br \/>\nNew Materials\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arbin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/differential-capacity-graph.png\" alt=\"differential-capacity-graph\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"differential-capacity-graph\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tAuxiliaries and Optional Accessories Available to Enhance Testing\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<h3>MZTC Multi-Chamber<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arbin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MZTC-Mult-Chamber.png\" alt=\"Arbin Battery Test Chamber\" width=\"175\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Arbin&#8217;s MZTC &#8220;Multi-Chamber&#8221;
