The High Current Rapid Formation System by UNICO offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for high-current cell formation, designed to seamlessly integrate into cell manufacturing lines. Each channel is fully regenerative, delivering clean, stable power for charging while efficiently recovering energy during discharging. This regenerative design supports a more sustainable manufacturing process, reducing both energy costs and environmental impact.
With FPGA-controlled SiC power stages, UNICO’s system enables pulse formation charging, allowing full current pulses as short as 1ms. This advanced capability optimizes cell formation by achieving precise, rapid charging cycles, essential for high-volume production environments.
The BAT350 Series of IDAC cell formation based on UNICO IDAC technology brings a new level of performance, compactness, flexibility, and value to the formation market. The universal power board can be either air or water-cooled and utilizes high-performance SiC technology switching up to 1MHz, utilizing FPGA control. Four-channel versions will be available at launch utilizing a simple REST API control architecture for running formation processes which are stored in the device.
The BAT350 has an incredibly small size that allows integrators to mount the complete power electronics – input power conversion, isolation, DC output control – extremely close to the cell. Its high efficiency of better than 95% and complete bi-directional charging and discharging provide a new level of energy efficiency in the Gigafactory.
The BAT350 is a high current formation system for battery cells, featuring regenerative channels for efficient charging and discharging.
