Battery Formation and Grading System for Precision Testing The S12-512-6A Capacity Grading Cabinet is a high-performance, industrial-grade solution designed specifically for the formation and capacity grading of lithium-ion cells. Engineered for accuracy, reliability, and ease of integration into battery manufacturing workflows, this system leverages an STM32 microcontroller to deliver precise control over voltage and current parameters during critical battery testing phases. With 16 independent constant current and constant voltage modules, each channel operates autonomously—ensuring stable, shock-free performance across all test cycles. This makes it ideal for both mass production environments and advanced research applications where repeatability and data integrity are paramount. Key Features: This automated battery tester provides unparalleled precision in measuring cell capacity and voltage characteristics. Each of the 16 channels supports customizable charging profiles—including constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), and multi-stage protocols—allowing for tailored testing sequences based on specific battery chemistries or quality standards. The software interface enables seamless data formatting, upload capabilities, and real-time monitoring, making it suitable for integration with enterprise-level quality management systems. Its modular design simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime, while intuitive graphical controls enhance usability for operators at all skill levels. Detailed Description: Built for professional use in lithium-ion battery production lines, the S12-512-6A functions as a dedicated cell grading machine that ensures consistent product quality by identifying optimal performance tiers early in the manufacturing process. It supports comprehensive electrochemical characterization, enabling manufacturers to classify batteries by capacity, internal resistance, and cycle life metrics—all crucial for downstream applications such as electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and portable electronics. Unlike traditional single-channel testers, this unit’s distributed architecture eliminates cross-channel interference, offering superior stability and scalability. The inclusion of multiple safety protections, including overcharge, over-discharge, and temperature monitoring, adds an essential layer of operational security during extended testing sessions. Usage Scenarios: In manufacturing settings, the S12-512-6A streamlines the formation and sorting of newly produced lithium-ion cells, significantly reducing time-to-market while improving yield rates through accurate grading. For R&D teams, it serves as a reliable lithium-ion battery tester for evaluating novel electrode materials, electrolyte formulations, and cell designs under controlled conditions. Quality assurance laboratories also rely on this equipment to perform standardized assessments according to international benchmarks like IEC 62660 or UN 38.3, ensuring compliance with global regulatory requirements. Whether used in pilot-scale trials or full-scale production lines, the system adapts effortlessly to evolving industry demands.
