Who this is for: Battery pack remanufacturers working with motive and micromobility electric vehicle packs, such as:
- Forklifts
- Scooters
- Bikes
- Other two-wheelers and three-wheelers
PROBLEM: Packs returned from the field need to be tested for capacity at the cell level.
SOLUTION: AccelaGrade Cell
About motive and micromobility pack remanufacturing
Remanufacturing is the practice of identifying failed cells, replacing them individually, and putting the pack back together for ongoing use. It’s conceptually similar to refurbishing a laptop. Motive and micromobility batteries are often more practical to disassemble than automotive packs due to their internal hardware.
The economics of remanufacturing depend on testing speed, as described by battery industry writer Chris Chico. Testing cells must be cheaper than replacing packs to make remanufacturing viable and that depends on throughput. Otherwise, the full pack heads to the recycler and a lot of value is lost.
Today, remanufacturing struggles to make money because testing with cyclers is slow and expensive. AccelaGrade, by Pulsenics, has changed the game.
The AccelaGrade Difference
PERFORMANCE
Up to 19x faster than cyclers!
AccelaGrade can grade a battery cell in less than 30 minutes with up to 128 cells at the same time. AccelaGrade™ Cell is a fully integrated battery testing and grading solution that cycles and grades cells using capacity and impedance measurements. It features robust temperature sensing and a patented cell balancing mechanism to ensure accurate, repeatable results.
AccelaGrade rapidly integrates data from:
- Partial cycling
- Temperature measurements
- Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)
PRICE
AccelaGrade has the lowest cost per cell of any solution. Because it completes a grade much faster than a cycler, saving on labor hours, it uses fewer channels (and at less power per channel). A lower channel count leads to savings on power infrastructure, a smaller physical footprint, reduced maintenance costs and a lower power draw.
Compared to cyclers, AccelaGrade:
- Delivers lower cost of quality.
- Uses a fraction of the electricity per cell.
Cyclers can’t match AccelaGrade’s performance or thoughput
You’re already doing the hard work of testing every cell in a used pack. Why not do that work faster, cheaper, and more thoroughly? Contact a Pulsenics consultant today.
