Battery Test Chambers
Innovative batteries require innovative testing solutions. AES gets that. Explore our battery test chambers below, including ATPPRIME, a patented system for high-density testing of batteries within an environmental chamber, ATPHEAVY, and ATPFLEX.
All Test Platform Battery Test Chambers: Keeping Up With Innovation
As the demand for faster-charging, longer-lasting batteries increases, you need a collaborator to help meet the challenge of innovation. AES has set the standard for lab-ready battery test chambers. We were issued a patent for ATPPRIME, a system for the high-density testing of batteries within an environmental chamber, and have expanded our solutions to cover nearly every cell type and format.
ATP chambers are designed with lean methodology to give you access to efficient, effective, and safe battery testing. They feature:
- Fully extending shelves for easy access to clearly labeled channels
- Prewired IGUS tracks to reduce setup time
- Adaptable terminals to switch between cell types
- Remote monitoring with AESONE CONNECT



- Designed to fit specially engineered AES environmental test chamber
- Cylindrical, prismatic, pouch, coin cell, and pack configurations
- 1-4 shelves (12-48 channels per shelf)
- Max current: 20 amps
- IGUS track cable management
- TUV US, CA, and E safety options

AES' patented battery fixture is custom engineered to safely test 12 to 192 cells inside the SD-508 test chamber for easy access and optimal airflow.



- Designed to fit specially engineered AES environmental test chamber
- Prismatic, pouch, and cylindrical cell configurations
- 1-4 shelves (2-4 channels per shelf)
- Max current: 1000 amps
- High-amperage cable system
- TUV US, CA, and E safety options

AES' patent-pending high amperage battery fixture is engineered to be adaptable and fit your testing needs, compatible with the SD-508-4 and the SD-512-4. The ATPHEAVY is the only large cell testing fixture of its kind.


- Can be added to existing test chambers
- Cylindrical, prismatic, pouch, and coin cell configurations
- 2-6 channels
- Max current: 20 amps

AES' ATPFLEX solution is engineered with flexibility in mind, easy to install in any existing chamber FLEX safely organizes cables and securely connects your cell to your cycler.

AES SAFE: Setting the Safety Standard
Building on EUCAR hazard levels, AES has introduced AES SAFE, a new standard of safety in battery testing. AES SAFE chambers protect products and labs, and keeps user safety in mind so you can innovate with confidence.


1. Emergency Stop
Stop button to disable chamber function rapidly

2. Set Point Temp Limit
Temperature control sets points to prevent the user from accidentally setting the temperature of the chamber outside of determined temperature limits

3. High/Low Temp Limit
Independent high low limit controller set to prevent damage to cells

4. Audible and Visual Alarm
Three color system that emits audible alarm when chamber is in an alarm condition

5. Rapid Temp Change
Safety feature in place to monitor and detect a rapid temperature change


6. Reinforcement
Reinforced stainless steel interior

7. Temp Limited Sheath Heaters
Stainless steel finned tubular heaters with a temperature sensor to limit the max operating temperature

8. Burst Disk/Low Flow Vent
Graphite burst disc with rupture sensor that triggers system alarm

9. Door Lock
Electronic rotary cam fail safe door lock with mechanical override; AES XCHANGE logs door activity (open and close state)


10. Gas Sensors
Sensors for monitoring chamber working volume for combustible gasses.

11. Product Sensors
8 Themocouple connectors installed on the rear of the chamber for customer device under test monitoring

12. Safety Purge
Inert gas purge is triggered when the chamber is in an alarm state

13. Chamber Alarm Input
The external terminal block sends a voltage signal, that when interrupted, will trigger an alarm state and shut down the chamber

14. Chamber Alarm Output
when the chamber is powered and in a safe state, the contact closes. Loss of power or alarm condition opens the contacts
Severity Level | Description | Severity Classification & Effects Criteria |
---|---|---|
0 | No Effect | No effect. No loss of functionality. |
1 | Reversible Loss of Function | No defect; no leakage; no venting, fire, or flame; no rupture; no explosion; no exothermic reaction or thermal runaway. Cell reversibly damaged. Repair of protection device needed. |
2 | Irreversible Defect/Damage | No leakage; no venting, fire, or flame; no rupture; no explosion; no exothermic reaction or thermal runaway. Cell irreversibly damaged. Repair needed. |
3 | Leakage Δ mass <50% |
No venting, fire, or flame; no rupture; no explosion. Weight loss <50% of electrolyte weight (electrolyte = solvent + salt). |
4 | Venting Δ mass >=50% |
No fire or flame; no rupture; no explosion. Weight loss ≥50% of electrolyte weight (electrolyte = solvent + salt). |
5 | Fire or Flame | No rupture; no explosion (i.e., no flying parts). |
6 | Rupture | No explosion, but flying parts of the active mass. |
7 | Explosion | Explosion (i.e., disintegration of the cell) |
