Useful Tips When Planning Your Battery Test Setup
- How will the device under test (cell, module, or pack) be connected to the Arbin system?
- Individual cables
- Individual cell holders (coin cells, cylindrical cells, flat/pouch cells)
- Trays to hold multiple cells (coin cells, cylindrical cells, flat/pouch cells)
- Racks to organize cells
- Chambers
- How close will the Arbin system be to where the devices are being tested?
- Some cell holders will plug directly into the front of the Arbin tester.
- Cables maybe used to connect directly to a battery. Cable length and connection type should be noted.
- Cables may be used to connect to a cell holder or rack. Cable length should be noted.
- Will testing need to take place in a temperature chamber, safety chamber, or glovebox?
- Arbin offers an 8-zone temperature chamber for battery testing (MZTC) with an operating temperature of 10-60C and for cells rated up to 60A. Connections are made easy with the cables between chamber and tester. [Learn more]
- Cables may run from the Arbin tester into a glovebox or other temperature chamber. Cable length, temperature rating, and connection type should be noted.
