What is being bought
UKBIC has a requirement to purchase a range of equipment for manufacturing conformance testing of battery cells to establish a Flexible Industrialisation Line (FIL) at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre. The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) is part of the UK Government’s Faraday Battery Challenge. UKBIC is a national battery manufacturing development facility helping to scale-up battery manufacturing and facilitate upskilling in the battery sector. We are a publicly funded, open access facility, funded by the Faraday Battery Challenge at UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). This PIN lists the general requirements for cell cycling equipment to be housed in a new self-contained (external) test facility as part of a Flexible Industrialisation Line (FIL) at UKBIC. This requirement will be split into three lots: Lot 1 – Cell cycling equipment Lot 2 – Temperature chambers Lot 3 – Modular building Suppliers will be able to bid for individual lots, however bids that offer combined solutions incorporating more than one aspect of this equipment are encouraged. The ability to fabricate offsite and provide a turnkey solution for a complete self-contained test facility incorporating all aspects would be advantageous. Bidders will also encouraged to put forward energy efficient solutions. All equipment to provide UKCA conformity.

  • Lot 1 · #1
    Cell Cycling Equipment
    planned
    Published valueNot published
    Lot 1 – Cell cycling equipment Cell cycling equipment with an operating voltage range of -5V to +5V (or similar) is required. It is envisaged that a quantity of 96 to 192 test channels of 15A per channel capability will be required, along with 16 to 96 channels of 100A per channel capability. The provision of cabling and test fixtures for connecting the cycling equipment to the 21700 cells (for the 15A channels) and 300mm x 100mm x 5-10mm pouch cells (for the 100A channels) would be an advantage. Test fixtures should enable the user to easily and safely connect and disconnect individual cells.
