Challenge
The current performance verification of batteries takes a long time since it involves manual intervention.
Development of an automated performance testing application for testing multiple batteries simultaneously was needed.
It was necessary to conduct multiple charging and discharging test cycles to analyze Cellwise Performance.
It is necessary to integrate several power sources and electronic loads in order to perform an accurate performance analysis.
The test required field visits due to hardware integration, which was a challenge due to lockdown.
