iso-BTC | Bench-top, battery performance testing, isothermal calorimeter
The iso-BTC is a bench top isothermal calorimeter designed to characterise the thermal behaviour and electrical performance of battery cells under real-world operating conditions.
- Measures heat generation and electrical performance during charge/discharge cycles
- Supports a wide range of battery formats through interchangeable adaptors
- Enables automated cycling with integrated charge-discharge units
- Performs accelerated ageing tests to assess long-term performance
- Supports investigation of battery chemistry, electrode composition, and cell design
- Provides thermal mapping to identify high heat-generation regions
Overview
The iso-BTC delivers precise isothermal calorimetry for in-depth analysis of battery performance and thermal behaviour during normal and extended use. By simultaneously capturing heat flow and electrical data, it provides a comprehensive understanding of how batteries perform across a range of operating conditions.
Its ability to perform automated cycling and accelerated ageing studies makes it a powerful tool for evaluating long-term performance and degradation. Combined with thermal mapping capabilities, the iso-BTC enables targeted thermal management strategies, supporting the design of safer and more efficient battery systems.
