FAQ
Common challenges include:
Long testing durations
High costs
Complex standards landscape
Late detection of critical issues
Leading companies shift toward frontloading testing & simulation, an approach strongly supported by PEM Motion.
Battery testing evaluates the performance, safety, and durability of batteries under real-world and extreme conditions. This includes parameters like capacity, cycle life, thermal behavior, and resistance.
Modern standards such as IEC 62660 or ISO 12405 define how batteries must be tested to ensure reliability and safety in electric products.
Without proper testing, risks like thermal runaway, performance loss, or unexpected failures occur late in development.
Advanced testing approaches like those used by PEM Motion go beyond standard validation by simulating real application scenarios early, reducing costly redesign loops.
Typical required tests include:
Performance testing (capacity, power, energy density)
Cycle life and aging tests
Safety and abuse testing (overcharge, short circuit, thermal runaway)
Environmental testing (temperature, vibration, humidity)
These tests follow standards like IEC 62660, UN 38.3, and ISO 12405.
The challenge is not running tests but selecting the right test strategy and partner. This is where experienced partners like PEM Motion help optimize scope, cost, and timeline to prevent unexpected development costs by also executing all relevant tests.
Yes. Our experts help analyze test data and translate it into actionable recommendations. This not only saves valuable development time but also reduces unnecessary design iterations.
Timelines depend on the scope and can take weeks to several months:
• Basic validation: weeks
• Lifetime testing: several months
• Certification testing: timeline depends on regulation
Thanks to our flexible laboratory infrastructure and strong partner network, PEM Motion can typically achieve very short lead times. We will always find a viable solution if there are time-critical projects. With a smart test design plan and parallelization of running tests, you can significantly reduce development time with us.
Common challenges in battery testing are:
• Long testing durations
• Missing tests or wrong testing methods
• Complex standards landscape
• Late detection of critical issues
• Redesign issues because of testing results
Leading companies shift toward frontloading testing & simulation, as well as a structured testing plan to avoid unexpected costs and project deplay; an approach strongly supported by PEM Motion.
