Services
Battery Performance Testing
Our proprietary load banks perform comprehensive battery health assessments following IEEE standards. We test large capacity systems up to 4,000Ah while maintaining system integrity. This critical service identifies potential reliability issues before they impact operations.
Integrated Electrical System Testing
We conduct full-scale evaluations of standby power systems including generators, transfer switches, and batteries. This comprehensive testing ensures complete system reliability during critical power outages.
Infrared Thermography
Certified technicians use advanced infrared cameras to detect electrical issues like imbalanced loads and faulty connections. This non-invasive diagnostic tool prevents unexpected equipment failures.
Product Approval
Our lab verifies product specifications for batteries and power conversion equipment. We collaborate with manufacturers to ensure new products meet performance requirements before deployment.
Tear-down Analysis
We perform detailed component dissection to identify root failure causes in batteries and power systems. This service helps manufacturers improve product reliability and prevent future failures.
