New Programmable Lithium-Ion Battery Charge/Discharge Tester from Retop Electric
1. New Programmable Lithium-Ion Battery Charge/Discharge
Tester from Retop Electric
Jan 15, 2015-China-Retop Electric, world leading provider of electrical power test equipment and
systems, announces the release of their new 17200 Programmable Battery Internal Resistance
Tester. Retop Electric¡¯s 17200 is a precision charge/discharge test instrument specifically
designed for Lithium-ion secondary batteries. Retop Electric claims high accuracy output and
measurement up to 0.02% ensures long term repetitive test results. The instrument is capable of
supporting various charge/discharge test modes such as CV (Constant Voltage), CC (Constant
Current) and CP (Constant Power). These optimized features are typically required to perform cell
reliability verification (such as battery cycle life test), the study of material properties, product
research and development, and production incoming / outgoing inspection, as well as balancing,
quality control, and safety evaluation. Retop Electric¡¯s 17200 Tester also features long term
stability suitable for life cycle testing, independent channels and more.
The 17200 can be paired with Battery Charger redundant 62000B DC Power Supplies to ensure the
continuity of extended duration analysis, such as life cycle testing. This innovative design assures
the stability and continuity of each test. The 62000B was designed for work stations that are
sensitive to power failures including system servers, burn-in, life-test or longevity testing that cannot
be interrupted. In the unlikely event of a power supply failure, the parallel N+1 redundancy
architecture assures continuous operation. Each power module is easily hot-swappable, eliminating
down time.
Retop Electric¡¯s 17200 series is a versatile solution for laboratory testing. The modularized
multi-channel architecture offers both flexibility and expandability, catering to cycle test
requirements. The Retop Electric 17200 series is composed of a mainframe with five two-channel
plug-in modules that may operate independently or paralleled, offering the most flexibility between
high current and high channel count testing. This modularity creates several advantages including a
small footprint, improved and incremental power densities and ease of hardware maintenance or
expansion.
Each module has en embedded CPU that allows for isolated instruction execution per channel. Once
a test profile is created and transferred from the programming console, each channel can discretely
operate and back-up the test results. The test results can be backed-up locally or uploaded to an
external computer via Ethernet. Therefore, an overloaded network or a power outage will not
compromise the data transfer.
Coupled with Retop Electric¡¯s BatteryPro software, customers gain access to flexible functions
and programming that allows for the rapid creation of test recipes for individual or a group of
channels, and as a single independent channel or as a high current paralleled channel set. The
application field covers varied Lithium-ion battery or battery module characteristic tests, which were
formulated to help customers meet the versatile test requirements for laboratory and manufacturing
environments.
To ensure safety, the 17200 offers many protection features such as cell polarity check, over voltage,
over current, over capacity and loop (contacts and current path) resistance monitoring. These
important safety features are provided to safeguard each cell and its surroundings.
