A key highlight of the week is Nicholas DiCeglie returning to the stage for his second consecutive year, presenting “Increasing Success and Safety in Battery Testing” on the Battery Safety Track reinforcing AES’s ongoing commitment to advancing safe and effective battery testing practices.
AES Battery Testing Solutions on Display
At Booth 515, AES is showcasing advanced battery testing configurations designed to meet the evolving demands of the industry—particularly as cell formats, power requirements, and safety expectations continue to scale.
ATPHEAVY: Built for High-Power, High-Volume Testing
The ATPHEAVY platform remains a central focus this year, with multiple configurations on display tailored to real-world testing applications:
- ATPHEAVY Cassette Configurations (Top-Mounted Systems)
Designed for larger-volume performance chambers, these configurations maximize channel density while maintaining clean cable management and optimized airflow. - ATPHEAVY for 12 cu. ft. Chambers
A scalable solution balancing power and footprint, ideal for mid-sized testing environments requiring high current capabilities. - ATPHEAVY for 8 cu. ft. Chambers
Compact yet powerful, this setup enables high-performance testing in smaller lab spaces without compromising safety or accessibility.
Across each configuration, AES emphasizes:
- High current capabilities
- Streamlined workflows
- Safer test environments
- Optimized thermal performance
These systems are engineered to support common battery industry applications, from cylindrical and prismatic cells to pouch cell testing—ensuring flexibility as testing requirements evolve.
Industry Recognition: Best of Show Award
The International Battery Seminar also hosts a highly competitive Best of Show Award, recognizing the most innovative technologies on display across the battery ecosystem.
AES is proud to have been named a Best of Show Finalist for its now patented ATPHEAVY battery testing solution—an achievement that highlights the platform’s impact on advancing battery testing safety, performance, and scalability.
Engineered for high-amperage applications, ATPHEAVY supports large-format and high-power battery testing with up to 1,200A continuous or pulse. Designed for both R&D and production environments, the system integrates seamlessly with AES battery test chambers while maintaining a strong focus on safety, flexibility, and adaptability across all cell form factors and chemistries.
A New Venue, Same Industry Momentum
This year’s move to Rosen Shingle Creek reflects the continued growth of the battery industry itself. With expanded exhibition space, increased attendance, and deeper technical programming, the event underscores just how rapidly battery innovation is accelerating.
For AES, it’s an opportunity to:
- Strengthen partnerships
- Showcase evolving test solutions
- Engage directly with engineers and manufacturers shaping the future of energy storage
Looking Ahead to the Rest of 2026
The 2026 International Battery Seminar was a huge success for AES, giving us the opportunity to connect with customers, showcase our ATPHEAVY and other battery testing solutions, and highlight our ongoing commitment to safety and innovation. Following this event, AES will continue engaging with the industry at several upcoming trade shows throughout the year:
- Del Mar Electronics and Manufacturing Show – April 22–23
- The Battery Show – October 13–15
- Pack Expo – October 18–21
- Anaheim Electronics and Manufacturing Show – November 10–11
- Advanced Automotive Battery Conference – December 8–10
We look forward to sharing more innovations, meeting new industry partners, and supporting the evolving needs of battery testing at each of these events.
