Battery Pack Test System – 9200 Series

Modular, Regenerative Battery Test system for EV, Solar PV, Aerospace, Energy Storage, & More

The 9200 Battery Test System is designed for all battery chemistries including  lead-acid, nickel-cadmium and lithium-ion. The 9200 is ideally suited for
applications where maximum tester configuration flexibility is needed to adapt to a broad range of battery voltage, current and power requirements now and in the  future. Another good fit is where high-speed set and measurement are necessary to better characterize battery transient performance. A third application is where  easier and faster test program creation is desired. All applications benefit from the 9200 discharge power recycling capability, which  results in both a cooler test environment and system cost recovery in a few years.

Battery Emulation & Burn-In Applications

A Battery Emulation Mode is provided within Enerchron for testing certain power electronic systems that now utilize a real battery to source and load the product-under-test. In this Emulation Mode, the test channel will source and sink current as needed to maintain voltage regulation. Having a programmable battery emulator provides a more consistent testing capability for products such as chargers, regenerative braking systems, and on board DC/DC converters.

Key Features

  • Best configuration flexibility
  • Custom waveform/profile generation
  • Microsecond voltage, current & mode transition times

  • 3 test system control options including a Touch-Panel interface
  • Bi-directional DC Source, expandable from 12 to 252 kW with 40, 120, 240 or 600 V
  • Regenerative, 87% efficiency of discharge power returned to AC mains
  • Multiple safety layers to protect battery being tested
  • Battery emulation and burn-in applications
