Regulations in the last decade have made great strides in testing criteria for battery cells and battery system to improve safety and reliability:  Both in operation and non-operational transportation.  As an example:  nearly all Lithium batteries are required to pass section 38.3 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous goods regulation.  Generally, the battery cells or systems are exposed to vibration, thermal / humidity cycles, altitude testing, impact, and either before/after or simultaneously during the environmental stresses they undergo charge / discharge cycles. 

PTI has capabilities to handle most preliminary battery testing requirements for small and medium-sized (typically < 5lb total weight) battery cells.  We can do this at a cost-effective rate and prepare you for full compliance testing.

PTI can also provide preliminary battery testing for safe transportation and reliability, read more
