How to Test Battery Performance in E-Mobility Vehicles
Testing e-mobility battery performance against various operational conditions
Testing battery performance in low-power e-mobility vehicles requires emulating the power source and catering to device power-up, idling, sudden acceleration, and other operating conditions. Test engineers must understand battery charge / discharge characteristics, battery performance under various load conditions, system electronics, and, most importantly, aging battery performance.
To understand the factors impacting battery life, test engineers need a power supply that provides seamless ranging capability for fast current measurement and compatible software. These capabilities reduce test times in multiple operating modes, such as profiler, emulation, charge / discharge, and cycler. The test engineer can also monitor the battery temperature in real time with a data acquisition system to gain insights into the performance of the device under test (DUT).
