Batteries
The acceleration of electrification means that batteries are becoming crucial in everything from vehicles to energy storage and industrial applications. At the same time, demands are increasing: batteries must be able to withstand extreme conditions, comply with EU battery regulations, be designed with a view to being reused and recycled, and be produced on a large scale without compromising safety or sustainability. This requires companies to invest in testing, expertise and regulatory compliance, which can be difficult to manage internally.
Throughout the entire battery value chain – from raw materials to recycling – RISE provides support in the form of testing, certification and development, which shortens time-to-market. Batteries are tested in world-leading facilities where safety and performance are verified under extreme conditions and in different climates. Whether it's material development, production optimisation, safety testing, module design or recycling processes, companies have access to expertise and infrastructure for both techni

Services in batteries
Service
Battery impact test
Impact test means the battery being subjected to an impact from another body that is dropped or hurled at the battery.
Service
Immersion test of batteries – battery testing
To immersion test batteries means immersing a battery in a liquid, and then evaluating how it is affected. After test, any damage to the battery is examined. This is important to ensure that batteries have sufficient protection against external impact.
Service
Climate testing of batteries – Battery testing
Climate testing of batteries is performed to evaluate or determine that a battery can operate in and handle different climates. These tests are essential to ensure battery performance and to fulfil specific requirements for the battery's intended use.
Service
Vibration testing of batteries – Battery testing
Vibration testing of batteries is carried out to ensure that batteries can withstand the vibrations they may be subjected to in different applications. This is important to guarantee the safety and functionality of the battery. In some cases, it is necessary to fulfil national and international req…
