After a year of development, this innovative equipment meets the growing challenges of battery reliability and safety under extreme thermal constraints. It performs tests under thermal runaway, thermal propagation and thermal stability pressure.
EFEB stands out for its versatility
With a 1,100-liter volume, the EFEB enables testing of large-format battery cells and modules.
It can test numerous battery chemistries, offering a tailored response to customer needs and technological developments in batteries.
Its maximum capacity of 300 Ah covers the majority of Li-Ion cells available on the market.
Advanced features for accurate results
EFEB incorporates features that guarantee highly accurate results.
It allows you to trigger, with extreme precision, various thermal runaway scenarios that could be critical for your products, using several activation methods: heating pad, nail perforation or voltage overload.
With a maximum pressure of 10 bar, 4-channel voltage measurements and up to 16 thermocouples, the EFEB ensures rigorous monitoring of critical parameters during testing. (more sensors possible on demand)

ts three portholes allow tests to be viewed and recorded via HD and IR cameras.
The equipment provides rigorous analysis of the rise in pressure and runaway to determine the volume of gas emitted. These gases can then be recovered, analysed and quantified.
Finally, its flexibility offers the possibility of conducting tests in a controlled argon atmosphere, with an O₂ concentration of less than 1%, for test conditions adapted to each need.
A strategic asset for SERMA
EFEB strengthens SERMA’s position as a key player in the field of battery testing, combining in-house expertise and technological innovation.
This equipment meets the current challenges of increasing battery size and energy, while offering a more efficient and flexible solution than competing equipment.
A tool designed for excellence, serving safety and innovation.
