Importance of Testing Battery Systems

What it Takes to Transition to Battery Testing Systems

As electrification and battery systems become increasingly prominent in the testing domain, it's crucial to consider the prerequisites for conducting such tests within your facility. Several organizations are venturing into this territory, assuming they can carry out electrification testing within their existing internal combustion engine testing facilities, which is not the case. Certain facilities might have the inherent capability to conduct these tests with minimal adjustments, while others may need to perform construction of new infrastructure to meet the stringent safety standards. It's important to acknowledge that every organization's circumstances are unique, and there is no universally applicable approach when it comes to battery and electrification testing.

Is my Facility Fit for Battery Testing?

While traditional fuel testing indeed presents its own set of safety hazards, it's crucial to recognize that battery testing introduces a distinct set of safety considerations, necessitating specific facility structures and standards. These encompass critical factors such as energy conversion, energy storage, thermal management, and safety, among others. Learn more about understanding the importance of prepping for battery testing at your facility in ACS’ feature in The Percussive Maintenance Podcast, and here from ACS’ very own, Chris Arnold, Managing Director, ACS Michigan.
