BET Services Inc. is an independent provider of battery testing services for automotive OEM's (Original Equipment Manufacturers) as well as their Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers – the battery developers and cell manufacturers themselves. Established in 1995, we are located near Toronto, Ontario, Canada, almost at the foot of Toronto's international airport. BET regularly works with the major automotive OEM's from around the world (including USA, Norway, Germany, Japan, Korea, etc.) in their electric (EV) and hybrid electric (HEV) vehicle programs.
We have performed testing on PbA (Lead Acid), NiCd (Nickel Cadmium), NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride), and NaNiCl (Sodium Nickel Chloride) batteries as well as provided test equipment for fuel cell systems. We have also worked with a large number of different lithium-based electrochemistries, including performing testing on cells, modules, hybrid packs as well as full EV lithium packs.
BET performs battery testing on a 24/7/365 basis for cells and modules designed for pure electric as well as hybrid electric applications. Our equipment includes almost 80 individual cell and module testing channels (0-100 Vdc and +/-900 Adc)
We have small and large environmental chambers that allow us to provide simulated environmental testing.
Of course, we also test cells for applications other than automotive, including larger-scale batteries that are primarily designed for UPS and other stationary and utility applications. BET can also provide testing for cells designed for the telecommunications industry, medical devices, or light EV’s.
BET uses commercially available cycling equipment from Digatron.
BET is well known throughout the EV and battery industry. BET has established long and trusted relationships among our many customers – sometimes single-sourcing their battery testing to BET. Many of our customers count on our ability and experience to take a generalized description of test requirements and translate them into workable tests – even after initial test requirements were previously thought to have been established.
Although the core of the company focuses on cell and module testing, BET also brings practical experience to other projects. Some of the other projects that BET has been involved in include: The development of a low-floor hybrid electric transit bus; the development of a pure electric courier vehicle concept; the development of a stationary on-demand battery system for the utility industry.
