Battery Reliability Test System — Chroma 17010H

Overview

Battery Reliability Test System Chroma 17010H is high-precision charge and discharge test equipment specifically designed for high current/high power performance testing. It specifies measurement accuracy of b10.015% of F.S. and measurement precision of b10.005% of F.S., supports multiple current ranges 300A/150A/30A, and offers high-speed current response with zero-crossover time for charge/discharge conversion. The system provides 200% rated pulse current and power output capability with a pulse output duration of 30S. The 17010H uses an energy recovery architecture that feeds discharged energy back to the AC power grid with a recovery rate of 75% and system feedback grid current total harmonic distortion <5%, reducing waste heat and lowering power distribution and operating power and air conditioning costs. Models are offered as charge/discharge test modules with channels 1-16 and the following specific options: 17010H-6-300U — Current Range: 300A/150A/30A, Super mode 600A; Power Range: 0-6V; Channels: 1-16; 17010H-6-300S — Current Range: 300A/150A/30A, Super mode 600A; Power Range: 1.5-6V; Channels: 1-16; 17010H-6-300Z — Current Range: 300A/150A/30A; Power Range: 0-6V; Channels: 1-16; 17010H-6-300 — Current Range: 300A/150A/30A; Power Range: 1.5-6V; Channels: 1-16. The system is paired with software offerings including Battery Pro, a multi-channel, item-driven test platform for cell-to-pack level charge-discharge testing with real-time monitoring and built-in tests requiring no programming, and operates with the Battery LEx software platform. The 17010H is used to run power capability tests and driving simulations to test compliance of vehicle batteries with international standards, supporting high-rate current and power test parameters based on battery operating conditions such as BEV, PHEV and HEV with an output time of 30S. It provides automakers with tests for battery cell selection, battery modeling, determination of battery degradation mechanisms, and BMS algorithm development. The system supports cell-to-pack level charge-discharge testing with real-time monitoring when used with the Battery Pro software, which is item-driven and includes built-in tests without requiring programming.
