Battery test benches

Battery storage systems have become a key component both in the transformation to electromobility and in the field of stationary energy storage. The development of such battery systems requires comprehensive validation consisting of a wide range of validation tests. At ISP, we have made it our mission, in a holistic approach, to offer the broadest possible range of testing options for battery systems and modules. For our customers, this means maximum efficiency in the implementation of validation programmes at a central location.

In addition to classic endurance and performance tests, our focus is also on environmental, safety, mechanical and abuse tests. State-of-the-art test facilities and infrastructure combined with precise measurement technology and a competent and experienced team enable reliable test results on the maturity level of the product.

We use the over 30 years of experience of our company as one of the leading testing service providers to offer our customers additional added value, whether in the development of test methods, in data handling and analysis or in the in-depth disassembly and assessment of their product after testing. The logistics of batteries and their legally compliant disposal are also services that we offer our customers.
