EV and battery testing – knowing the standards
Weiss Technik North America

Weiss Technik North America has published a white paper titled Environmental Simulation Safeties for Battery Testing to explain the various EV and battery test chamber safety features and outline how Weiss Technik can help companies with their EV and battery testing applications.

The need for higher-performing, lower-weight batteries has increased as the design and production of electric and hybrid vehicles and other devices have greatly expanded in recent years. Now, more than ever, automotive manufacturers and suppliers are looking to batteries as an answer to their energy storage problems.

Battery manufacturers have spent years developing safe and reliable energy storage technologies, but certain risks are always present. These risks are amplified if the battery being used is subjected to extreme conditions such as physical impact, puncture, overheating, overcharging and other extremes. Environmental test chambers keep personnel and product safe by adding specific features based on the battery sample (size, weight and chemistry) and the possibility of an event occurring. These possible events have been classified into a hazard level list developed by the European Council for Automotive R&D (EUCAR). The automotive industry has also developed many additional standards for battery testing.
