CAP-03 · Testing & aging
No module leaves before its cycles are done.
Formation and aging racks cycle every VoltBridge module against its project profile, and a UN 38.3 pre-compliance bench screens transport-critical risks in house — altitude, thermal, vibration, shock and short circuit. Formal certification runs through accredited third-party labs.

The aging discipline
Cycled in, data out.
Aging is where early-life cell failures are caught — or missed. Modules sit through programmed formation and rest windows, and every cycle is logged against the module's serial number so a field question is answered with batch data, not guesses.
- Programmed formation cycles set per project, with per-channel logging.
- High-temperature rest and cycling windows tuned to the destination market.
- Cycle curves and end-of-aging capacity archived against serial numbers.
- Pre-compliance screens run before samples ever reach an accredited lab.
Bench capability
What the test benches cover.
| Parameter | Capability |
|---|---|
| Formation | Programmed first-cycle charge and discharge, per-channel current logging |
| Aging | High-temperature rest and cycling windows set per project profile |
| Capacity verification | End-of-aging capacity graded against the order specification |
| UN 38.3 T.1 · altitude | Low-pressure screening on site |
| UN 38.3 T.2 · thermal | Thermal cycling screen to the transport-test profile |
| UN 38.3 T.3 / T.4 · vibration & shock | Bench screens per transport-test profiles |
| UN 38.3 T.5 · short circuit | External short-circuit screen |
| Certification scope | In-house pre-compliance testing; formal certification through accredited third-party labs |
UN 38.3 rows describe in-house pre-compliance testing; formal certification is carried out by accredited third-party labs. Batch cycle data and pre-compliance records are shared with customers under NDA on request.
Need cycle data before you commit?
Ask for the aging records and pre-compliance screens tied to a sample batch. We ship data with hardware, so your validation starts before the first purchase order.
