New energy vehicles replacing traditional fuel vehicles has also become the mainstream trend of the future development of the automotive industry, and breaking through the technical barriers of new energy vehicles is also an important part of the development of the entire automotive industry. As the main power source for new energy vehicles, power batteries must focus on improving the performance of power batteries to break through technical barriers. To this end, a large number of electrical performance tests are required, and the power battery cycle life test is an especially important part of the electrical performance test.
[0003] Since temperature has a significant impact on battery life, performance, safety, etc., most battery systems use a battery thermal management system to compensate for the inherent deficiencies of the battery. However, for natural heat dissipation battery systems without liquid cooling, the battery is in a high temperature state for a long time during the charging, discharging and static process of the cycle life test. When the battery is charging and discharging, the battery is in a state of heating up, but in its static state, the battery can be continuously cooled down to the same temperature as the ambient temperature. During the test, the number and frequency of charging and discharging are relatively frequent, and the temperature of the battery will continue to rise. Therefore, continuous charging and discharging is carried out under high battery temperature, which does not conform to the rationality of conventional power consumption. Therefore, the battery life test also has a large deviation, which affects the actual battery life test results; and the conventional static cooling speed is slow, which affects the test efficiency of the entire battery.
