The new instruments from EA Elektro-Automatik GmbH & Co can test up to three battery cells, modules or packs simultaneously with the power capacity of 4 kW/channel, 6 kW/channel and 10 kW/channel. Furthermore, to test higher capacity batteries, the channels can be paralleled to test 12 kW, 18 kW, and 30 kW battery packs. The EA-BT 20000 Triple series consists of eight models with voltage outputs from 10 V to 920 V and current outputs/channels of 40 A to 600 A. Unlike other battery testing instruments on the market, one EA-BT 20000 can continuously deliver three channels of 600 A or a single channel supplying 1800 A.
A flexible integrated solution for easy system integration
The EA-BT 20000 battery testers include all the functionality, in one instrument, to charge and discharge high power battery packs for battery testing, battery simulation and battery recycling. The testers measure parameters such as battery State-of-Health (SOH) and End-of-Life (EOL). The testers also include controls for external circuit breakers and other safety features to monitor and protect the battery-under-test.
The EA-Power Control and EA-Battery Simulator software packages enable automated tester control and allow test configuration and sequencing without requiring the use of a programming language.
To enable software development in custom systems, EA offers driver support that includes IVI drivers and NI LabView drivers. In addition, the EA-BT 20000 can interface to either a PC with SCPI commands or a programmable logic controller (PLC) with ModBus commands. All models in the family have an identical programming interface to save development time when a system requires multiple models. Standard interfaces include USB, Gb/s Ethernet, EtherCAT, and CAN FD. With CAN FD, the battery tester conveniently interfaces with automotive test stands.
For system integrators, EA provides 3D models as step files to facilitate the design of complete battery testing systems. Furthermore, the compact 4U enclosure helps to minimize test rack size. Along with expert applications support, the system integrator can cost-effectively build EA-BT 20000s into battery testing systems with any capacity.
