CURRENT SERVICES
Battery cell optimization
Our custom-built battery cycling hardware and advanced analysis tools allow us to identify the optimal charging methods of existing cells, while maintaining their safety.
Battery cell selection
Our thorough cell analysis capabilities help customers quickly eliminate options and select battery cells for their products that meet or exceed performance objectives.
New battery cell R&D
We offer engineering services that can identify and achieve best performance for new battery cell designs, using the minimum composition of materials required.
HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY
Iontra designs and builds custom cyclers to analyze current battery performance levels, identify opportunities and gaps, and deliver enhanced performance in charge speed, cycle life, and cold-temperature charging capabilities.
We’re proud to have top-of-the-line electrical testing equipment, allowing for highly accurate measurements and diagnostics. We support multiple digital electronics workstations and provide the capability to modify PCBs, cyclers, and fixtures.
