  • HEL Group ISO Battery Testing Calorimeter

    The iso-BTC (Battery Testing Calorimeter) is an isothermal calorimeter designed for the characterization of thermal behavior and electrical performance of battery cells under normal and extended use conditions. It supports a range of adaptors which allows a wide range of cell formats to be analyzed.

    The iso-BTC supports the full integration of a Charge-Discharge unit, allowing for the repeated, automated cycling of battery cells under a range of operating conditions, while concurrently recording both the battery’s electrical performance and the heat evolved.  It can also conduct accelerated aging tests, allowing the effect of battery aging on cell performance to be investigated. Battery chemistry, electrode composition, and battery cell type can also be investigated within cell development using the iso-BTC.

    Thermal mapping (multipoint temperature measurement) allows the user to identify regions of a battery that generate greater thermal energy to be highlighted.  Along with the Thermal Behavior characterization of the battery cell over a range of temperatures and Charge/Discharge rates, this information can be used to inform effective and targeted thermal management strategies within the battery module and pack.

    Includes:

    • Effect of Battery Aging
    • Thermal Behavior Characterization
    • Thermal Mapping
    • Records Electrical & Heat Evolvement
  • HEL Group BTC150 Battery Testing Calorimeter

    The HEL Group BTC-130 Battery Testing Calorimeter is a bench-scale Adiabatic calorimeter designed to enable the testing of Thermal, Electrical, and Mechanical Stress tests on smaller-sized battery cells. Evaluation of these tests facilitates the assessment of the safety performance of battery cells, the battery’s safe operating limits, and research and development into the mechanisms of thermal runaway.  The BTC-130 also supports the use of small-volume ARC-type test cells, enabling thermal stability screening of individual battery cell components under adiabatic conditions.

    Includes:

    • Component Hazard Screening
    • Characterizing differences in cell performance
    • Defining safe operating limits
    • Exploring thermal runaways and thermal propagation
