Element's customized performance testing protocols simulate the actual conditions your batteries will encounter in real-world use. This approach provides you with accurate data on how your products will perform in customers' hands, helping you identify and address potential issues before they affect your reputation or lead to costly recalls.

Our comprehensive battery testing capabilities evaluate every aspect of battery performance, including:

• Discharge capacity verification (low, room & high temperatures)
• High-rate discharge at operating temperature
• Charge retention (residual capacity)
• Charge recovery (recoverable capacity)
• Cycle life/endurance cycling at customer-specific discharge rate
• Rate capability (available capacity at different discharge rates)
• Float charge performance
• Storage at various temperatures
• Capacity at temperature
• AC and DC impedance
• Dimensional variation
• Incoming inspection (variation of samples)
• Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) variation
• Thickness and swelling over various exposure and use cases
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Element's holistic approach to battery testing combines tailored test procedures with advanced data management tools to give you comprehensive insights into your battery's performance.
