Specializing in a broad spectrum of battery chemistries and applications, the company offers tailored solutions to diverse sectors including automotive (Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles), industrial heavy equipment, telecom, data centers, and military applications.

BWE&I leverages over 700 programmable test stations, capable of handling voltages up to 900V, charge/discharge currents up to 2,000A, and power up to 270kW. This robust infrastructure is complemented by extensive thermal control equipment, including ovens, freezers, water baths, and advanced programmable thermal cycling chambers, enabling meticulous performance assessment, thermal cycling, aging analysis, and critical abuse and safety testing across various battery types such as lead-acid, lithium-ion (NMC, LFP, LTO), nickel-zinc, alkaline, and emerging chemistries in cell, module, and pack formats. The company is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, ensuring adherence to stringent quality standards and compliance with numerous industry specifications like SAE, EN, BCI, IEC, JIS, USABC, UN 38.3, and UL standards.
