Battery Testing at VDL ETS
At VDL ETS, we understand the critical importance of battery testing in today’s technological landscape. Our advanced testing facilities and expert teams ensure your batteries meet the highest standards of safety, reliability, and performance.
Our battery lab supports the full development cycle—from individual cells to complete modules and packs. We perform a wide range of non-destructive electrical and mechanical tests on various battery chemistries, including, but not limited to:
- Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
- Lithium iron phosphate (LFP)
- Nickel manganese cobalt (NMC)
- Nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA)
- Solid-state batteries
- Lead-acid
Our lab is highly flexible, our climate chambers and battery cyclers to meet specific testing requirements.
Cell testing
Testing of battery cells in all form factors, up to 5V and up to 4000A. Life determination, performance, characterization, calendric and cyclic aging. All temperature and humidity regulated.
Module testing
We offer comprehensive testing for battery modules, ensuring performance, safety, and compliance with your system requirements.
Pack testing
Testing of battery modules up to 1500V and up to 1000A. Life determination, performance, characterization, calendric and cyclic aging. All temperature and humidity regulated.
Vibration testing
Various vibration tests on shaker to prove structural integrity, electrical performance, and safety of batteries under real-world conditions.

Do you want to know how long your battery lasts?
If your supplier only provides a basic cycle count for battery life, we can go much further.
Our testing gives you a detailed view of cell degradation over time, helping you understand:
- Capacity fade
- Internal resistance growth
- Efficiency loss
- Thermal behavior changes
This insight is crucial for applications where predictable performance and long-term reliability are key. Whether you're validating a new supplier or comparing chemistries, we help you make data-driven decisions.
With this level of insight, you can even optimize your product design or confidently extend your product warranty, backed by real-world test data.
