High-Voltage Battery Simulator and Test Systems Critical for Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Development

Randall Beattie
SAKOR, Technologies, Inc.

High voltage battery simulator and test systems are essential for conducting testing of the high voltage DC power systems that are such a critical element of electric (EV) and hybrid/electric (HEV) vehicles. To accurately test a high voltage hybrid or electric drivetrain, you need to be able to provide precise, repeatable high-voltage DC power.

So You’ve Been Placed on Notice…Now What?

Jonathan Jordan BSEE, CFEI
Goodson Engineering

Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries have received much attention in recent years by the public at large but also by fire investigators and forensic engineers. This attention is primarily due to product recalls and exothermic battery failures caught on video and posted to the Internet. Read more about So You’ve Been Placed on Notice…Now What?

Cleaner Manganese to Improve the Safety and Performance of Li-Ion Batteries

Norman Chow, President
Kemetco Research, Inc.

The technology for lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries has been available since the 1970s but there hasn’t really been a true manifestation in the marketplace until about the last 10 years.  Battery makers have struggled with maintaining a significant charge, ensuring consumer safety and reducing production costs to commercially acceptable levels. But all that is about to change. Read more about Cleaner Manganese to Improve the Safety and Performance of Li-Ion Batteries
