Environmental Stability Chamber For Battery Testing

JOEO is a leading supplier of Environmental Stability Chamber with more than 20 years of industry experience in the design and manufacture of temperature and humidity control products, and we offer a wide range of environmental reliability testing equipment for testing batteries of any size. We offer extensive experience in laboratories testing NIMH, lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries ranging from small cell cells to large battery packs.

Battery Environmental Stability Chamber are offered to a variety of industries, including the automotive, computer, telecommunications, defense, and alternative energy markets. With the reduction of vehicle emissions and the development of electric hybrid vehicles, the need for lithium-ion battery testing has become more urgent.
Each of our test chambers is built to meet specific test requirements and can be connected to battery circulators, control and monitoring data acquisition systems, and other test equipment to form a complete integrated test solution.

Battery test solutions

The environmental stability chamber can range from a small benchtop chamber for testing small cells to a large walk-in chamber for testing large battery packs, with an operating temperature range of -73 ° C to +190 ° C and an optional humidity range of 10% to 95%. Can range from small benchtop units to large walk-in rooms.
