we will offer the entire spectrum
of validation for battery modules
and packs as a full-range supplier.
We have been working
with AVL for more than
20 years. Our new battery
test center is an important
milestone in this
partnership. I am sure
that more will follow.
focus: What else you would like to
tell our readers about this project?
Nasch: We strive to anticipate the
testing needs of the future and offer
solutions for them. So far, our
assessments have always been correct.
This is also true for this project.
Although this is a new technology
for us, our customers will
benefit from our core competencies
(quality, service, know-how),
our high-tech equipment, and our
many years of experience as an independent
testing service provider.
E-LIBRARY
Effective battery testing requires a sound understanding
of methodology and a robust test design
within the applicable industry standards. Our
E-Library is an ideal tool for this. It consists of readyto
run, global standard tests with automated data analysis
and intelligent reporting. The fully-adjustable set of
performance, environmental, abuse, lifetime and durability
tests offer an innovative plug-and-play approach. The
efficiency advantages can be expressed in figures: time to
productivity is 16 times faster, up to 55 % TCO reduction,
and faster competence development among internal
employees.
IN-SERVICE TESTING
The AVL DiTEST MCS (Module Conditioning System)
is used to maintain and repair batteries and individual
modules. It assesses the state of health of the batteries
by accurately measuring capacity. This procedure leads
to a significant improvement in the reactivation process,
which in turn has a sustainable and resource-friendly impact.
Modules that can no longer be used are identified
safely and can be recycled or disposed of.
BEST PRATICE III: FUSO LD-TRUCK
We have developed a battery family with three variants
for the FUSO Canter light-duty truck. The concept is
based on modules that can be variably interconnected.
It features a high degree of frame rigidity, outstanding
vibration compensation, and external cooling interfaces.
The modular structures allow energy content from 80
to 200 kWh at 450 V.
