Pickering Interfaces has introduced the new 5A battery simulation model, designed to enhance testing capabilities within battery management systems (BMS). This model aims to streamline the testing process while improving performance metrics.
On October 10, 2025, the company announced that the 5A battery simulation model serves as a benchmark for electronic testing and verification within the industry. The new model is part of their PXI battery simulation product line, which includes the 41-754 series (PXI) and 43-754 series (PXIe). These models utilize a compact design, allowing them to operate as either 2-channel or 4-channel battery simulators, with each channel capable of delivering up to 8V and 5A of current.
The channels can be configured individually or in pairs to simulate battery characteristics, and the models are intended to facilitate testing for various applications, including electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS).
Stephen Jenkins from Pickering noted, “Our 5A battery simulation model series has been significantly enhanced compared to our previous 300mA series. It is specifically designed for efficient and accelerated battery management system testing.” Each model supports multiple independent connection channels, enabling customers to simulate different battery types and configurations accurately.
The 5A battery simulation model is compliant with the PXI specification, allowing seamless integration into existing testing systems, while providing flexibility and scalability for future applications. It is engineered to meet stringent requirements in the rapidly evolving landscape of electric vehicle technology.
Moreover, this model is designed to support high power demands and precise feedback capabilities, making it suitable for applications that require rigorous testing conditions. It can handle high current variations and is expected to play a critical role in the development of advanced battery technologies.
In addition to testing EVs, the 5A battery simulation model can be utilized in various settings, including industrial automation and robotics, where reliable battery management is crucial. The ability to simulate different battery behaviors allows for comprehensive testing and validation of control systems.
As the demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems continues to rise, the 5A battery simulation model positions Pickering Interfaces as a leader in battery testing technology, enabling companies to adhere to evolving industry standards and enhance the safety and reliability of their products.
