The Enhanced EA BTS 10300 System




As someone who has dedicated years to exploring the latest advancements in technology, I am always on the lookout for innovations that truly make a difference. Recently, I came across a breakthrough that promises to reshape the landscape of EV battery testing—the enhanced EA BTS 10300 Battery Test System by Tektronix and EA Elektro-Automatik. Located in BEAVERTON, Ore., Tektronix’s business unit, EA Elektro-Automatik (EA), has unveiled a game-changing solution that addresses the pressing challenges in the industry. Let me take you on a journey through this revolutionary system that boasts industry-leading power density and high-voltage capacity.



Imagine having the capability to test EV batteries with 300 kW of power, all within a single 42U-high rack that occupies merely 6.5 square feet of floor space. The enhanced EA BTS 10300 Battery Test System achieves exactly this, setting new standards in the EV battery test arena. This compact powerhouse is not just about saving space—it’s about redefining efficiency and scalability. For manufacturers, every square foot of production-floor space is precious, and the BTS 10300 offers an elegant solution to maximize it.

Moreover, the ability to parallel racks for up to 3.84 MW of testing capability is nothing short of revolutionary. This means that as demands grow, your testing capabilities can scale seamlessly, ensuring that your investment is future-proof. It’s like having a small but mighty team that can expand effortlessly when needed.



When it comes to testing high-voltage EV batteries, the EA BTS 10300 stands in a league of its own. Boasting an impressive 2000 VDC capacity, this system can supply and sink up to 2,400 A per rack, reaching a total capacity of up to 30,720 A. This high-current capability is essential for rigorous battery module tests and battery cell tests, including pulse testing which demands exponentially higher currents.

What’s truly remarkable is that this level of performance used to require costly, custom-built systems. Now, with the enhanced EA BTS 10300, you get this high-level functionality as a complete COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) turnkey solution. Whether it’s battery cycling, drive cycle simulations, or insulation resistance tests, this system has got you covered.


One of the standout features of the EA BTS 10300 is its bidirectional power supply with SiC-based switching. This cutting-edge technology not only ensures efficient and rapid operation but also reduces electrical costs by regenerating power back to the grid with up to 96.5% efficiency. Imagine the savings on your energy bills!

Additionally, the system’s low heat generation minimizes HVAC expenses, making it an environmentally friendly choice. With system slew rates that are at least twice as fast as competitors and fast data acquisition rates of up to 1.5 kHz, precise and comprehensive EV battery testing is guaranteed. It’s like having a high-tech wizard that ensures every test is accurate and efficient.


In a world where technology is constantly evolving, adaptability is key. The EA BTS 10300’s true autoranging capability sets it apart, allowing for a wide range of voltage and current adjustments without interrupting the test cycle. This feature is particularly beneficial for adaptive testing requirements, ensuring that your investment remains relevant and valuable as testing needs evolve.

Moreover, customer-centric enhancements such as customizable HMI and data reporting make the EA BTS 10300 a superior choice for production EV battery tests. It reflects EA Elektro-Automatik and Tektronix’s commitment to innovation and customer feedback, ensuring that you get a solution that’s tailored to your needs.



In conclusion, the enhanced EA BTS 10300 Battery Test System is not just a technological marvel—it’s a testament to what’s possible when innovation meets real-world challenges. By offering unmatched power density, high-voltage capacity, and true autoranging capabilities, this system is paving the way for more efficient, scalable, and future-proof EV battery testing.

For those in the industry, now is the time to embrace this revolutionary solution. The system is currently available in the USA and Canada, and you can explore the complete range of EA Elektro-Automatik power supplies at tek.com. As we move towards a more sustainable and electrified future, the EA BTS 10300 is undoubtedly a step in the right direction.
