Vicor Battery Formation & Test Applications

Maximize Throughput

Producing More Power in Less Space with Lower Costs: Maximize Throughput

Battery Formation and Test (BFT) OEMs need to maximize throughput without expanding their existing equipment footprint, helping to reduce increases in manufacturing costs due to capital equipment and facility expansion investments.

Recycle Energy

To add to this challenge, OEMs need to recycle as much power used in battery formation, making their process as efficient and cost-effective as possible to compete in the market.

Efficient and Power Dense

Optimizing Power Usage to Become More Competitive: Efficient and Power Dense

Patented and award-winning Vicor power modules offer design engineers efficient and power-dense solutions. Utilizing a modular approach to power, Vicor power modules require much less space than traditional discrete power solutions, allowing BFT OEMs to increase battery throughput without increasing floor space.

Bidirectional to Recycle Energy

Bidirectional module features allow electricity to flow in two directions, making recycling energy effortless. Factories can use the recycled energy to change other battery cells, power various manufacturing processes, or return to the grid for further cost savings.

BCM bus converter modules extend from 48V to 800V inputs with various K factors to suit multiple applications and markets. For example, BCM6123 products are vital in the battery formation and test PDNs due to the high-density, bidirectional, high-efficient isolation features. Additionally, BCM6123 bus converters offer output voltage options of 12V, 24V, and 48V for design flexibility. When matched with efficient ZVS buck regulators, Vicor provides many critical voltages for formatting cells from 2.5V to 12V.
