LABCO, a renowned German testing laboratory accredited to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 standards, specializes in assessing the performance of electric vehicle components. With a track record spanning over two decades, LABCO has built a reputation as a trusted partner for leading automotive brands worldwide, dedicated to advancing innovation, reliability, and, above all, safety in product development. Continuing this tradition, the LABCO Battery Test Centre (BTC) uses state-of-the-art testing procedures to determine whether battery technologies meet the highest safety, durability, and performance standards.
Opened in 2022, the BTC facility is equipped to handle battery packs of up to 2.3 m x 2.3 m in size and weighing up to 2000 kg, allowing for the rigorous testing of even the most robust batteries. LABCO BTC sets new benchmarks in performance testing by simulating the entire lifespan of battery cells, modules, and packs. The center ensures comprehensive evaluation with test capabilities extending to 1200 V, 1200 A, and 1100 kW. Additionally, its two electrodynamic vibration test systems, boasting a maximum sine force of 300 kN and a maximum shock force of 900 kN, offer valuable insights into battery behavior under diverse thermal environmental conditions, spanning temperatures from -45 °C to 150 °C.
Addressing the impact of environmental factors on battery systems, the facility provides climatic and temperature cabinets ranging from 0.35 m³ to 11.5 m³ in test space, accommodating a wide array of environmental conditions for thorough evaluation.
