EV and Pack/Module Tester
Discover the Series 8500, an innovative and fully automated test system engineered to evaluate the performance of Electric Vehicle (EV) components, Energy Storage batteries, Modules, and Packs in real-world conditions. This high-specification system not only delivers accurate results but also allows the energy produced during discharge to be returned to the electrical grid.
Using Maccor’s standard fully featured battery test software, the Series 8500 can perform virtually any type of battery test including FUDS, SFUDS, DST etc. for electric vehicle batteries and standard cycling tests for energy storage devices.
The Series 8500 can be supplied as either a single or a multiple channel system. With test channel ratings from 5V to 500V, currents up to 550A, the Series 8500 is the perfect system for your high-power battery testing applications.
Features and Benefits
✔ Electrical energy is returned to the AC grid during discharge
✔ 100% duty cycle standard – No system power limit, test channel rated for continuous operation at full power, allows use in testing very high power storage batteries and EV systems
✔ Drive Cycle Simulation – Waveforms can be imported into the test procedure to increase test efficiency and reduce potential operator error
✔ Local emergency cut-off switch, automatic shutdown on loss of AC power, reverse voltage protection, internal circuit breakers – Provides a high level of safety
✔ Automatic scaling of data in W/kg or C-rate for drive cycle simulation programs and other test procedures – Reduces operator workload
✔ Real time data and graphics – Allows battery performance to be visually monitored at any time as the test progresses
