iso-BTC
The iso-BTC (Battery Testing Calorimeter) is an isothermal calorimeter designed for the characterization of thermal behavior and electrical performance of battery cells under normal and extended use conditions. It supports a range of adaptors which allows a wide range of cell formats to be analyzed.

The iso-BTC supports the full integration of a charge-discharge unit, allowing for the repeated, automated cycling of battery cells under a range of operating conditions, while concurrently recording both the battery’s electrical performance and the heat evolved. It can also conduct accelerated aging tests, allowing the effect of battery aging on cell performance to be investigated. Battery chemistry, electrode composition, and battery cell type can also be investigated within cell development using the iso-BTC.
Thermal mapping (multipoint temperature measurement) allows the user to identify regions of a battery that generate greater thermal energy to be highlighted. Along with the thermal behavior characterization of the battery cell over a range of temperatures and (dis)charge rates, this information can be used to inform effective and targeted thermal management strategies within the battery module and pack.
Type of Test
Performance testing
- Characterizing performance under normal and abnormal use
- Aging and lifetime performance testing
Battery behavior as a function of charge/discharging rate and temperature
- Heat release profiles
- Battery efficiency profiles
- Battery charging/discharging capacity profiles
Why is temperature so important to achieve optimum battery performance?
Battery-powered devices are everywhere within society, and this is only set to increase, especially as the electric vehicle market grows. This results in the demand for higher-powered, longer-lasting, better-performing batteries. With this comes the need for tightened safety regulations to ensure the safety of these ever-improving batteries is not compromised. This is where manufacturers have to take into account the importance of temperature when it comes to achieving the best possible performance and properties for their batteries. There are many factors to be considered regarding temperature and batteries, and here, H.E.L. Group discusses a few of these.
