EV Solutions

Full-Service Lifecycle Management for Electric Vehicle (EV) Batteries

We provide support throughout the entire lifecycle of a battery. The Dynamic Team is composed of experts in the Closed Loop Economy of EV Batteries. A closed-loop economy is an economic model in which no waste is generated; everything is repaired, remanufactured, repurposed, or recycled.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Testing

As an established automotive remanufacturer, we can provide considerable expertise and knowledge in various battery module and pack level testing services. Working together with our dedicated electrification team, our engineers will collaborate with your team to create a suitable test plan. Our process for testing ensures that the final product meets the maximum level of quality and reliability as defined by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

Dynamic provides one-on-one support to customers by helping to develop customized test programs to support their individual testing needs. We create custom test scripts and provide additional guidance and expertise for EV systems and components. As an industry leader in electric battery testing, we offer a comprehensive range of testing procedures to help estimate the overall battery State of Health (SoH). Some of these tests and services include:

  • Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) measurement and recording
  • Life Cycle, Characterization, and Performance testing
  • Battery Management System (BMS) validation
  • Low and high discharge rate testing
  • CAN bus communication and control
  • Temperature monitoring & control
  • R&D battery pack design
  • Module & pack cycling
  • Development testing
  • Consulting Services
  • Validation testing
  • Thermal Imaging
  • Load Testing

Logistics Management

Our team delivers the highest standard of shipment care to mitigate en-route risks. Our specialized shipping and receiving department is DOT 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Hazmat Certified to help customers understand packaging and documentation requirements. The final product is identified with hazard labels including but not limited to appropriate UN shipping labels and other required markings to adhere to regulatory standards laid out by all governing bodies at both the regional and international level.

Our Battery Test Facility

Our Battery Test Facility consists of 6 Electric Vehicle (EV) battery test systems and their supporting framework. Our test management software and Data Acquisition Unit (DAQ) continuously collect, timestamp, and archive temperature measurements. For thermal management, we also operate a standalone glycol chiller system with custom-designed liquid cold plates for Units Under Test (UUT). Utilizing this equipment and software, we can provide our customers with full-service turnkey operations for Remanufacturing, Repurposing, Logistics Management, and Recycling.

We provide responsible recycling services for batteries that are damaged, unrepairable, or have reached end-of-life status.

FAQS

What is the Typical Battery Life Cycle?

The typical life cycle of lithium-ion cell in an electric vehicle battery pack consists of the following steps:

  1. A battery cell manufacturer produces cells and conducts initial cycling.
  2. The battery cell OEM then ships cells to a battery pack assembler or manufacturer.
  3. The battery pack assembler or manufacturer combines cells into various combinations, adds protection electronics and controllers,  and case materials suitable for its intended application.
  4.  A distribution center sells, and potentially ships the device containing a battery pack to a customer.
  5. The customer uses the device containing a manufactured battery pack.
  6.  At the device end of life or battery pack end of life, the device or battery pack is discarded.
  7. The battery pack is transported to a solid waste disposal site or to a recycling site.

Why Is There a Need for Battery Testing Facilities?

When an EV battery reaches the end of its useful first life cycle in an automotive application, on average, it still has around 80% – 70% of its original storage capacity. Instead of transporting these packs to a recycling center, they can be repurposed into second-life applications such as stationary power sources. By reusing EV batteries, we can decrease the demand for further battery production and minimize landfill waste. Testing facilities such as Dynamic work hard to enable a closed-loop economy for EV batteries. Testing services we provide at Dynamic help prepare these batteries for safer use in their second life applications.

Are EV batteries reusable and/or recyclable?

EV batteries can be recycled and reused, reducing the amount of lithium and other metals that would otherwise end up in landfills. Some projections suggest that by 2030, up to 90% of EV batteries could be recycled. While challenges remain, such as developing cost-effective recycling methods, the growing demand for EVs ensures that progress will continue. As we work towards a more sustainable future, repurposing or recycling EV batteries is just one important step we can take to reduce our impact on the environment.

Does EV have a transmission?

No, an electric motor does not require a transmission system. Unlike a combustion engine that needs a gearbox to assist with acceleration and deceleration, an electric motor generates maximum torque at low speeds and maintains it throughout the acceleration. Therefore, the absence of a gearbox simplifies the vehicle design and makes EVs perform better than their conventional counterparts.
