ANSWERS FOR ENGINEERS
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Sterling test battery cells, modules, and complete packs?
Yes. We test the full battery hierarchy — from individual cells to modules and complete high-voltage packs — for EV and hybrid (HEV) applications.
Can environmental testing be combined with battery testing?
Yes. Battery testing can be paired with thermal cycling, shock, vibration, and water immersion to simulate normal and extreme operating conditions.
Does Sterling test to OEM specifications?
Yes. Testing is performed to OEM specifications and established standards in our ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab, and we can develop custom procedures.
