Keysight Technologies and the Finnish technology company Proventia are working together to improve battery testing solutions for electric vehicles. The result of the cooperation is a location-independent and secure test lab that should be able to be put into operation quickly.

The test lab Keysight and Proventia are developing together is designed to optimally support automotive manufacturers, suppliers and test institutes in the development and testing of high-voltage batteries for electric vehicles, helping them reduce time-to-market and costs.

The lab includes the following key solutions:

Keysight's Scienlab battery test solutions, including the SL1700A Series Pack-Level Scienlab Battery Test System, test high-voltage batteries up to 1500 V. With features such as redundant measurements and new high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) technology that enables 96 percent energy recovery, safety concerns are addressed.
Keysights Scienlab Energy Storage Discover software monitors and controls the DUT's test systems and lab components, including the battery management system and climate chambers.
Keysight's PathWave Lab Operations for Battery Test software helps manage the entire lab and optimize workflow, data collection and processing.
Proventia's standardized, modular, and site-independent test facilities reduce capital investment time and costs through their scalability, which allows customers to select right-sized test chambers for rapid startup.
Proventia's test labs include climate chamber integration and control, fluid preparation systems, air conditioning, a control room, and a test item preparation room. To avoid dangerous situations and protect the health of employees testing batteries, safety features include gas and fire detection, an alarm system, and access control.
