Cell services

Cell characterization

We provide various testing for cell development. Specialities include cycling under forced thermal gradients across cells, heat capacity and thermal conductivity across each axis, destructive and non-destructive performance qualification and abuse testing.

01

Vacuum or reduced atmosphere specialty testing

Our custom vacuum test chambers provide aircraft and space applications with electrical, thermal, and safety validation under application representative atmospheric conditions. 

02

Design services

Leveraging thermal runaway cell data along with endothermic and ablative material test data enables lowest number of iterative development steps to meet safety and performance objectives.

Additional offerings

Cell Services

We cover many tests that our clients may not have the time or resources to adequately cover. This includes heat capacity and thermal conductivity, and destructive testing in our state-of-the-art calorimeter.

Material Science

We can prevent costly product recalls and brand damage. Through many years of hard earned lessons, we’ve seen the interplay between electricity and humidity saturation cause dielectric degradation and failures.

Testing

We focus on collecting the most challenging and high-value data. Our team members have experienced many painful test failures, so our client testing can be completed smoothly and safely.

Specialized equipment

We have acquired or built specialized equipment. A few examples of our capabilities include: 5,000A constant current source, quantify thermal energy spikes precisely, and imbed temperature sensors and voltage tap points of interest inside live cells to cycle them under forced temperature gradient fixtures.

Consulting

We tailor an agreement specifically for our clients. Our knowledge base spans a wide variety of topics in the industry. We aim to work with technical teams to enhance their ability to succeed in our mutual endeavors.

Forensics

We have a best-in-industry track record at determining root-cause failures. Our recreation of event ignition kinetics validate forensic assumptions in our lab. If a product can be made to store energy, it can release energy in unintended and destructive ways.
