EMobility Ready-to-go: Battery & Electric Vehicle Training Kit
Explore battery technology, energy storage, and electric mobility with the EMobility Ready-to-go: Battery & Electric Vehicle Training Kit. Students compare multiple battery types, investigate charging and discharging, analyze energy storage performance, explore hydrogen fuel cells, and power an electric model car through hands-on experiments.
Batteries and energy storage systems are at the heart of electric transportation and many modern energy technologies. The EMobility Ready-to-go: Battery & Electric Vehicle Training Kit gives students a hands-on platform for investigating how different energy storage technologies operate, charge, discharge, and perform under real electrical loads.
Students can compare technologies including NiMH, NiZn, LiFePO₄, lead-acid, lithium-polymer, supercapacitor, and hydrogen fuel cell storage. Through qualitative and quantitative experiments, learners investigate characteristics such as nominal voltage, capacity, internal resistance, energy density, efficiency, charging behavior, and discharge performance.
The included ChargerModule provides charging programs for the different storage technologies and enables students to investigate charging methods such as constant-current/constant-voltage and fixed-voltage or fixed-current charging. An electric model car connects these concepts directly to transportation, allowing students to test different battery technologies and a reversible hydrogen fuel cell as vehicle energy sources.
