Power Analysis Software

Keysight Technologies (Santa Rosa, CA) introduced KS833A2A Event-based Power Analysis software for analyzing a device’s power consumption, delivering a view of how the device behaves to the subsystem level, as well as its charge consumption profile. It offers a continuous datalogging mode with measurement and data collection, enabling users to capture up to eight days of data to understand device behavior and charge consumption profiles over many operating cycles. The software features the ability to capture the dynamic current consumption of a device as it transitions among active, idle, or sleep modes with current-ranging technology from A down to nA. It also automatically calculates battery life based on the charge consumption profile, eliminating manual calculation.

Battery Adhesive

DELO (Sudbury, MA) introduced DELO-DUOPOX TC8686 structural adhesive for batteries used in hybrid vehicles. Designed for high-volume series production, it is thermally conductive and flame-retardant. The adhesive is suitable for low-voltage batteries found in mild hybrid and conventional hybrid vehicles as well as in e-bikes and e-scooters. The adhesive allows battery cells to be bonded into a battery’s housing while dissipating the heat generated during operation. The adhesive is designed for temperatures ranging from -40 to +85 °C and tensile shear strength on aluminum of 18 N/mm². Thermal conductivity is 1.1 W/m*K. It offers a mixing ratio of 2:1 and has a processing time of approximately 30 minutes after mixing; after four hours, the adhesive reaches its initial strength.

Uninterruptible Power Supply

APC/Schneider Electric (Boston, MA) offers the SUA500PDRI-H industrial panel and DIN rail AC UPS that protects against under voltage (sag) and over voltage (swell/surge), transients, spikes, and unexpected power outages. The small form factor is optimized for mounting within control panel enclosures either on a heavy-duty DIN rail or directly to the wall of the enclosure. The UPS battery can be loaded in the internal battery compartment or mounted externally. Suited to protect industrial process control equipment, the UPS can provide protected AC power to multiple AC/DC power supplies within the cabinet. Temperature-compensated battery charging prolongs battery life by regulating the charge voltage according to battery temperature.

Battery Testing Systems

Arbin Instruments (College Station, TX) offers LBT series battery testing systems that consist of independent charge/discharge channels for testing battery or supercapacitor modules and other energy-storage devices. Each channel provides three or four current ranges with 16-bit resolution; any number of channels can be operated in parallel for increased current-handling capacity. They come with a PC pre-loaded with MITS Pro and Data Watcher software for creating test profiles, real-time data monitoring, and data plotting and analysis. Auxiliary inputs/outputs are available for additional data collection or control such as temperature monitoring and additional reference electrodes. The systems communicate with internal battery management system (BMS) via CANBus or SMBus protocols.
