Battery and Accumulators

Developing the highest quality batteries, that are safe and reliable, is a complex challenge in today’s competitive global market. We can provide expert testing services for abuse, benchmarking, durability, electrical, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), environmental, life cycle analysis, performance, safety standards and transportation on cells, batteries and modules.

Expert and experienced, we conduct battery comparison testing against both national and international standards, as well as battery life cycle analysis. With an increasing focus on renewables and energy efficiency, we also carry out testing for renewable energy storage systems and energy efficient battery management.

To make supplier selection easier, we also provide side by side comparison data and continued validation.
