Cycling – the process of repeatedly charging and discharging cells – is one of the most important tools for evaluating performance and longevity. The U-M Battery Lab provides programmable cycling hardware that can replicate everything from simple charge-discharge routines to complex drive cycles such as simulated rush-hour traffic.
The lab offers more than 500 channels of Maccor cycling capability, covering:
- Current range: 30 µA to 50 A
- Voltage range: up to 5 V
- Ambient testing (~25 °C)
- Sub- and super-ambient testing in six Espec thermal chambers
All cycling data is managed through Voltaiq, allowing users to monitor results securely and remotely in near real time. Learn more about Voltaiq at U-M. Learn more about Voltaiq at U-M.
