An electronic switch with specifications not found on the market, and test equipment for conditions that standard instruments do not cover.
Customer: Sunlight
Sunlight is a large industrial group that produces many types of industrial and special batteries. It has been expanding continuously in recent years, acquiring similar companies around the world and entering new markets in batteries and related energy systems.
Sunlight has a research and development division with hundreds of specialised engineers. It also has an in‑house test facility and team that certify its batteries against international standards, including military standards for some products.
Standard test equipment covers most of its needs. For some extreme test conditions it is not suitable, and the special tools on the market are either over‑specified or too expensive.
Sunlight also needs accessory components for its battery packs, such as electronic switches with specifications that do not exist on the international market.
We design and build components and test equipment that meet these needs, in reasonable time and at reasonable cost. They include a new electronic switch developed for Sunlight’s battery packs, and equipment for testing prototype battery packs.
The new electronic switch lets Sunlight house more cells in the same battery pack, an advantage over its competitors.
The test equipment helped Sunlight test prototype battery packs and optimise production.
