Maccor Battery Test Systems

Maccor manufactures battery test equipment in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, since 1987: cabinets with 1–192 channels, a research platform, desktop testers, cell formation systems and temperature chambers.

Series 4000 and 4000H battery test systems

Series 4000 floor-standing cabinets test cells, modules and packs for cycle life, performance and qualification. A system has 1 to 96 channels, up to 1,400 A and 14,400 W with 1 or 4 current ranges. The Series 4000H supports up to 2,400 A and 28,800 W.

Series 6000 battery research platform

The Series 6000 is designed for pulse and impedance research on new cell chemistries. It samples at 20 kHz with 1 μs pulse resolution and ±0.02 % of full scale voltage and current accuracy. Test steps start at 500 μs and waveforms reach 15,000 levels.

Sampling rate 20 kHz
Pulse resolution 1 μs
Accuracy ±0.02 % FS
Minimum step 500 μs

Series 4200, 4300, 4400 and 6200 desktop testers

Desktop testers pack Series 4000 hardware into a compact footprint and run the same MacTest32 software as the cabinets. The four-range Series 4400 reaches ±30 nA on the bottom range. The Series 4200 and 6200 provide 16 channels at up to 240 A.

1 to 16 channels
Series 4400 ±30 nA
Series 4200 up to 240 A
Minimum step 2, 5 or 10 ms

Series 5302 cell formation systems

The Series 5302 runs the first charge and discharge of new cells on production lines and recycles power back to the grid. It has up to 2,048 independent channels per system, a 100 % duty cycle and 0.02 % of full scale voltage accuracy. Grading covers capacity, IR and self-discharge.

Up to 2,048 channels
Duty cycle 100 %
Voltage accuracy 0.02 %
Cells 18650, 21700, 4680

FUSION integrated test systems

FUSION combines a Maccor cycler, an AES environmental chamber and safety controls in one unit that is factory acceptance tested before shipment. Safety controls include emergency stop, smoke and gas detection and venting. Configurations include 192 channels at 1 A and 64 channels at 15 A.

192 channels at 1 A
64 channels at 15 A
Emergency stop, gas detection

Temperature chambers for battery testing

The compact heat and cool chamber is controlled as a step in the Maccor test procedure, with no separate chamber software. The range is +10 °C to +100 °C with ±0.5 °C accuracy. One system controls up to 32 chambers, and up to four fit into a 19-inch rack.

Heat and cool +10…+100 °C
Accuracy ±0.5 °C
Up to 32 chambers per system
Up to four chambers per rack

Selecting Maccor test systems by current and channel count

The platform depends on the device under test and the current.

Series 4000 cabinets with 1–96 channels and up to 1,400 A suit cells and small modules, while high-power modules and packs need the Series 4000H up to 2,400 A or the Series 6500 with up to 3,200 A. For high-volume cell testing the Series 6600 offers 1–192 channels at 1 A.

Pulse and impedance research is served by the Series 6000 with 20 kHz sampling and 1 μs pulse resolution; labs with limited floor space use desktop testers with 1–16 channels.

Cell production and temperature-controlled testing

On production lines the Series 5302 runs the first charge and discharge on 2,048 channels with grading by capacity, IR and self-discharge. It supports cylindrical 18650, 21700 and 4680 cells, prismatic hard-shell and pouch cells.

Temperature-controlled tests run in Maccor chambers from +10 °C to +100 °C or in FUSION systems that combine the cycler, an AES chamber and safety controls in one unit.
