Battery Testing Services
Development and production of electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles are increasing each year. A critical component to the success of these vehicles is the battery system. Many automakers and suppliers are facing new safety standards and test methods as these vehicles are developed.
TÜV SÜD provides an array of testing and engineering services to support e-mobility programs and has now added the capability to perform abuse, durability, and life cycle testing for automotive batteries, including, but not limited to:
