In the dynamic field of battery technology, where batteries power everything from electric vehicles to renewable energy systems, maintaining high quality and safety standards has never been more critical. As a leader in testing and certification, we have worked with various firms to validate their battery solutions. This article shares two case studies demonstrating how our labs have assisted companies in certifying their battery products’ quality and safety, ensuring they met industry standards and achieved market success.

CASE STUDY 1: ADVANCING LITHIUM BATTERY PACK MOBILITY CLIENT:

A manufacturer aiming to enter the global market with their lithium battery packs.

Challenge: The objective was to develop heavy battery packs adhering to the rigorous safety and regulatory standards of Canada, the U.S.A., and the European Union. The need was for a reliable partner to confirm the safety and reliability of their battery packs, which is essential for their target market.

Solution: Our lab performed multiple tests on these battery packs, including overcharge protection, short-circuit, free-fall, altitude, vibration, and the demanding 150G, 6ms shock test, among others. We verified that the batteries conformed to industry safety and performance standards and were customized to their specific use and market requirements.

Outcome: After successful testing and compliance with necessary standards, the manufacturer was granted the cLCus Mark authorization. This achievement not only boosted their confidence in the product’s quality and safety but also enabled them to enter global markets and establish a strong reputation in the lithium battery pack sector.

CASE STUDY 2: POWERING RENEWABLE ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR THE MARINE INDUSTRY CLIENT:

A renewable energy firm specializing in storage systems, focusing on the marine industry.

Challenge: The client was developing advanced lithium-ion battery systems for renewable energy storage. They needed to validate compliance with industry standards and ensure the systems could withstand daily cycling and harsh marine conditions, including the integration of a cooling system for safety.

Solution: Our lab subjected these battery systems to extreme heat, the thermal puncture test, and short-circuit testing to ensure endurance without initiating runaway and efficient fume ventilation.

Outcome: The tests demonstrated the battery systems’ durability and safety for marine energy storage applications. This validation helped the client secure increased funding and partnerships, accelerating the deployment of renewable energy solutions in the marine industry.

This table provides a succinct overview of the key outcomes from the case studies, emphasizing the impact of thorough testing and certification in the battery industry.
