The leading provider of EV test solutions’ BAT300 Series sets a new standard in cell formation and testing. It fills a crucial gap where high end research solutions are overqualified and expensive and conventional equipment often falls short in terms of performance or efficiency. The technology is ideally suited for cell formation in gigafactories, as well as for aging and functionality testing in R&D laboratories, and end-of-life (EOL) activities in cell/module manufacturing lines.
Designed for test applications that prioritize cost-effectiveness and flexibility over ultra-high precision, BAT300 Series marks Unico’s first product launch on the new Unico IDAC power platform following the acquisition of Present Power Systems (PPS), which significantly expanded Unico’s product portfolio of battery cell, module, and pack testing solutions.
“With the recent acquisition of Present Power Systems, we’re already harnessing technologies from our new Advanced Technology Group, and the BAT300 Series represents our first product coming out of the acquisition,” says Steve Bright, CEO of Unico. “The new IDAC power platform empowers Unico to enhance our presence in battery markets and venture into new sectors such as on-board charging, home charging, battery recycling, and more.”
The BAT300 Series is a compact, all-in-one solution (480VAC to DC) that minimizes energy consumption while maximizing testing efficiency. With its ability to enhance the basic cell testing and formation market, the BAT300 Series fills a crucial gap where high end research solutions are overqualified and expensive and conventional equipment often falls short in terms of performance or efficiency.
“This latest product marks the debut of our new power electronics platform, codenamed ‘IDAC’ (Isolated DC/AC Conversion),” says Don Wright, VP of Engineering at Unico. “The technology embodies a revolutionary shift in flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. It’s been immensely rewarding to introduce this product to the market, and we’re excited about the potential to develop more innovations for our roadmap using this cutting-edge technology.”
