The basis of battery cell selection is a systematic and comprehensive test and evaluation of the cells. It mainly evaluates whether it meets the application requirements of lithium-ion battery systems from the aspects of cell consistency, temperature characteristics, rate characteristics, pulse power performance, cycle life performance and safety performance.
There are many test items for battery cells, so, multiple battery test equipment need to be equipped in the battery cell test station.
The table below lists the battery cell test items, as well as the concerns and evaluation indicators of each test item.
