ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICES TESTING LAB

IMDEA ENERGY INSTITUTE

DESCRIPCIÓN Y FINES DE LA ENTIDAD

Electrochemical Devices Testing Lab (EDTL) offers electrochemical devices
characterization services and ageing evaluation.
The facility allows testing under specific profiles simulating power electrical
requirements for batteries and supercapacitors in stationary applications
coupled to renewable energy sources and for electric vehicles.
The EDTLab has a flexible configuration that allows testing single cells,
modules and small battery packs.
