H.E.L Group Battery Testing Calorimeters
Asia Mattelab is the distributor for H.E.L Group Battery Testing Calorimeter in Singapore and South East Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines).
H.E.L Group has a long history of solving complex challenges for customers. Since 1987, the Company has worked with businesses and laboratories globally, providing proprietary automated solutions for the pharma, biotechnology, chemical, battery, and petrochemical sectors.
Developing more powerful batteries with higher energy densities, quicker charging times, and longer lifetimes, requires detailed understanding of thermal safety and performance optimization.
High-energy batteries contain highly reactive and potentially hazardous chemicals. These batteries will operate under, and be subjected to, a range of conditions. Therefore, understanding battery thermal behavior is critical to controlling cell self-heating and mitigating thermal runaway risk. Self-heating can arise from normal usage or from being subjected to a stress condition.
The accurate detection of catastrophic failures and the factors that contribute to them is required when designing batteries and their safe operating limits. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including operating temperatures, improper installation, or charging, as well as physical damage to the battery.
Understanding battery performance behavior under isothermal conditions gives battery developers and device integrators powerful insights into the optimum operating conditions for the battery and cell.
With a long heritage of thermal safety and hazard evaluation, H.E.L Group can help you gain vital insights into battery behavior.

Battery Safety Testing, Adiabatic Calorimeter (BTC-130/BTC-500)
The BTC-130 (Battery Testing Calorimeter) is a bench-scale adiabatic calorimeter designed to enable the testing of thermal, electrical, and mechanical stress tests on smaller-sized battery cells. Evaluation of these tests facilitates the assessment of the safety performance of battery cells, the battery’s safe operating limits, and research and development into the mechanisms of thermal runaway. The BTC-130 also supports the use of small-volume spherical test cells, enabling thermal stability screening of individual battery cell components under adiabatic conditions.

Battery performance testing, Isothermal Calorimeter
The iso-BTC supports the full integration of a charge-discharge unit, allowing for the repeated, automated cycling of battery cells under a range of operating conditions, while concurrently recording both the battery’s electrical performance and the heat evolved. It can also conduct accelerated aging tests, allowing the effect of battery aging on cell performance to be investigated. Battery chemistry, electrode composition, and battery cell type can also be investigated within cell development using the iso-BTC.
Thermal mapping (multipoint temperature measurement) allows the user to identify regions of a battery that generate greater thermal energy to be highlighted. Along with the thermal behavior characterization of the battery cell over a range of temperatures and (dis)charge rates, this information can be used to inform effective and targeted thermal management strategies within the battery module and pack.
The new iso-BTC+, is designed for measuring heat-release profiles during battery charge and discharge testing, giving you enhanced performance and lifespan data. Building on established capabilities of the smaller iso-BTC, the new iso-BTC+ allows for testing of even higher power and physically larger batteries.
Faster product development, testing, and launch through scientifically robust data:
- Reveal battery heat-release profiles for an optimised battery management system
- Understand performance consequences of use, misuse, and cell aging
- Define effects of environment temperature on battery heat generation to ensure product performance and safety
