The global battery testing equipment market is estimated to grow at a moderate rate of around 4.6% over the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to the growing demand for medical equipment and the need to reduce battery wastage as continuous testing and maintenance are required to reduce battery wastage, and ensure battery and equipment safety. Batteries have been used for a long time and have been using them for several applications, such as toys, watches, flashlights, laptops, and mobile phones. Apart from these applications, the surge in technological advancement has increased the applications of batteries, including the conversion of renewable energies to electrical energy, to power electric vehicles. There are specific measurements related to safety, performance, and aging of the batteries, such as internal impedance or resistance, rate of charging and discharging at different thermal conditions, the life cycle of batteries in other situations, heat generation during charging & discharging, and the robustness of the battery. These are the key aspects surging the demand for the battery testing equipment and hence drive the market growth.
