High-current cell testing with pulse discharge up to 4800 A
The Chroma 17010H is a high-precision charge/discharge test system designed for lithium-ion batteries (LIB), lithium-ion capacitors (LIC), and electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC). It is optimized for applications requiring extremely high current, fast response, and efficient energy regeneration.
Ideal for performance evaluation, cycle life testing, and quality verification in EV, ESS, AI data centers, and research environments.
- Accuracy up to ±0.005 % F.S.
- 200 % pulse current capability (e.g., 600 A pulse from 300 A continuous channel)
- Channel paralleling up to 4800 A without precision loss
- Fast current response: <1.5 ms
- Zero cross-over delay between charge and discharge
- Energy recovery up to 75 % during discharge (AC regenerative design)
- Data acquisition: 1 ms sampling, 10 ms report rate
- Independent voltage protection per channel (Level 2)
- Full integration with climatic chambers, safety interlocks, loggers
