What is ATPRIME?
All Test Platform (ATP) provides a safe and easy way to test batteries within an environmental test chamber. ATPPRIME enables rapid change of batteries and battery types between tests and offers the highest density per square foot of environmental test chamber space available for battery testing. ATPPRIME combines multiple essential components for battery testing into a configurable, scalable and secure high-density battery test platform.
The main features of ATPPRIME are:
- Ability to test many types of batteries with a single fixture
- Ability to change from one style of holder to another, or support multiple configurations for nearly any cell type: coin, cylinder, prism, pouch, and puck
- An integrated Battery Interface Board (BIB) sends accurate and powerful charge and discharge data signals from each cell to the user’s battery cycler.
- Sliding shelf for easy access to safely insert batteries into the test environment without the need for external disconnection
- Up to four custom-designed epoxy shelves maintain a flat surface, distributed airflow, and optimal configuration.
