Volytica, Sinovoltaics launch new analysis service for 100% battery pack review at factory
The newly launched BESSential analysis goes deeper than traditional Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), which is performed at the container level. The service evaluates each battery energy storage system pack down to the cell level and detects and corrects thermal, electrical, and capacity imbalance issues. The analysis is performed directly at the factory, reducing the risk of post-deployment setbacks.
