Battery testing

Electrification is driving the transformation of mobility. And batteries are playing a crucial role. Technology is developing rapidly and at the same time expectations are increasingly high. No matter if it’s energy density, performance or safety: you’d better be one step ahead of the competition. As a test service provider with more than 25 years of experience we offer you this essential advantage: With our cutting-edge Battery Test Center and our proven know-how as a specialist for testing and validation we stand by your side – with maximum efficiency and flexibility. We test what you develop to make sure that you succeed. That’s our promise.
