PREVENT AND MITIGATE BATTERY EVENTS WITH AES SAFE

SAFE SYSTEM

SAFE System — When Safety Isn’t Optional
AES’s SAFE System is a purpose-built suite of safety features engineered specifically for battery testing. Unlike general-purpose environmental chambers, the SAFE System is intentionally designed to prevent hazardous battery events before they occur—because when you're testing energy-dense cells, safety isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Built into our chambers from the ground up, the SAFE System incorporates advanced hazard prevention features like temperature-limited sheath heaters to keep heating elements below auto-ignition thresholds, and integrated safety thermocouples that can be placed directly on the battery cell to monitor abnormal temperature rises in real-time. These sensors also allow users to set customizable high-temperature limits for proactive shutoff and alerting.

Additional user-configurable controls include maximum test setpoint limits to avoid test profile errors, and rapid temperature rise detection for early intervention. In the event of a thermal incident, robust mitigation features activate—including atmospheric inertization for fire suppression, a low-flow pressure relief vent to safely exhaust cell gases, and a graphite burst disk for emergency pressure relief.

For more extreme testing conditions, an abuse testing configuration is available, expanding temperature capabilities while maintaining the SAFE System’s core commitment to safety.

LARGE SCALE BATTERY TESTING

WALK-IN BATTERY TEST CHAMBER

When your battery testing demands go beyond the standard chamber size, AES offers fully customized walk-in battery test chambers designed for large-scale testing. These rooms are engineered to meet your exact specifications—whether you're testing EV packs, modules, or other large-format batteries. With flexible configurations, advanced safety systems, and integration options for battery cyclers, our walk-in solutions ensure you can test efficiently, safely, and at scale.
