Testing station for testing lithium ion cells of battery of e.g. electric vehicle, has measuring tips detecting electrical variable of battery cells, and camera detecting identifier, which identifies battery cells to be tested

摘要

The station (10) has a receiving space for receiving battery cells (12). Measuring tips (34, 36, 38) detect an electrical variable of the battery cells. A camera (32) detects an identifier e.g. data matrix code, which identifies the battery cells to be tested. The camera detects a polarity of the battery cells and/or checks a position of the measuring tips relative to one the cells. A test carriage (26) moves the measuring tips from one of the battery cells to the other battery cell provided in the receiving space. The camera is coupled with a control device (44), which controls the carriage. The camera is read by a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip. An independent claim is also included for a method for testing battery cells.
