Use case

We determine with you the usage scenario : Run time between recharge; Recharge time; List of the operating modes; Operating temperature conditions, mechanical criterais, performance requirement.

Specifications

From the use cases and requirement document, we carry ou a preliminary feasability study. The deliverable is a target specification mutually approved between us and you. The target specifiaction will be the reference document from the design up to validation step.

Design

We take in charge the schematic design of the BMS, the wireless recharge circuit, the mechanical design of the enclosure of the battery pack and the different element of the wireless recharge system. We define the battery module with the energy cell manufacturers.

Sourcing

We are in close relation with numerous battery providers from tiny solid state micro battery to dedicated medical implant battery. There is no limits to find the right battery for your need. We are also partnering with the large energy management semiconductor companies for the sourcing of IC components for the BMS.

Prototyping

We take in charge the fabrication, test and debug of the BMS PCBA. We are carrying out the mechatronics integration with the battery pack.

Validation

After debug we file a complete test procedure which is part of our contractual deliverables. On demand we can also realize burning test to valide the functionality in specific and extreme conditions.

360° service level and an all-inclusive offer

From upstream to downstream, from idea to implementation we accompany and support you through each step based on the preliminary usage scenario for which the energy architecture will be related to and up to the qualification of the energy solution.
