Nexergy, Columbus, Ohio, has opened a new Performance Verification Laboratory that will have advanced capabilities to conduct comparative product research into energy cell properties. The facility will be used to carry out extensive testing on a multitude of commercially available battery cells and Nexergy custom-OEM battery packs. The lab can simultaneously test cells or batteries in a variety of atypical environments, including extremes of temperature and humidity. The data collected will provide clear, direct comparisons of similar products.
