Battery Research
We offer a comprehensive range of battery test and research solutions suitable for everything from single cells to high power battery packs. This includes, but is not limited to, cyclers, cyclers with simultaneous multi-channel EIS, multiplexed test systems, portable units and solutions for those wishing to add EIS to existing cyclers. See below for more an overview but please do not hesitate to contact us if you do not see what you need immediately.
High Precision Coulometry
Novonix is a company spun out of Dr. Jeff Dahn’s lab at Dalhousie University that specializes in developing battery testing equipment with a strong focus on the use of High Precision Coulometry for reliable lifetime evaluation of lithium-ion cells.
Novonix’s High Precision Charger provides industry-leading, low noise and high accuracy source and measurement electronics, optimised for making precision measurements of coulombic efficiency.
