Automotive鈥憇cale testing facility
An ultrahigh precision charger facility for the testing of automotive Li-ion cells is being established.听 Strict temperature control of the cells during testing is required and laboratory safety must be maintained.听 Special cell testing chambers have been constructed which ensure lab safety and provide the needed temperature control1.
