What It Is + Why It Matters

High-current bidirectional battery tester for low-voltage high-power battery cells, modules, and packs – ideal for automotive, energy storage, and renewable energy.
Three independent channels enable parallel testing of multiple cells or parallel operation for high-current single output (up to 180A as specified).
Energy recovery up to 96% drastically reduces energy costs and heat dissipation, minimizing HVAC requirements.
High precision and speed – 18-bit digital control ensures accurate measurements; 1 ms command cycle for real-time control.
Comprehensive safety features protect both the tester and the battery under test.
Scalable architecture – parallel up to 64 units for system power up to 1.92 MW.

Note: Autoranging technology provides full power across voltage and current range. Always follow battery safety guidelines.

Best for / Not for

Best for: High-current low-voltage battery cell cycling (Li-ion, LFP, solid-state), module and pack formation, charge/discharge characterization, second-life battery testing, and production end-of-line (EOL) testing in EV, energy storage, and aerospace.
Not for: Applications requiring voltage above 60V per channel (use higher voltage BT models); lower current requirements (overkill).

Selection Checklist + Integration

Confirm battery voltage ≤ 60V per channel and current ≤500A per channel (parallel total 180A per spec).
DC connection: For 500A, use multiple parallel cables (e.g., 2x120mm² per pole) with low-inductance busbars.
Mounting: 19" rack, 3U height, allow >30cm rear clearance for airflow.
For master-slave parallel (up to 64 units): Connect Share bus and digital bus; total system power up to 1.92 MW.
For energy recovery: Ensure AC grid can accept regenerated power; check local regulations for grid protection device.
Software: Use EA Power Control for automated test sequences; EA Battery Simulator for battery emulation.
