The BC battery is full back contact, and the operator needs to check the probe pressing point one by one in the narrow space at the bottom of the probe array when replacing the probe array, which delays the production capacity; 2. The automatic transmission distance of the battery piece is not the same, and after the automatic table surface is corrected, the temperature measuring point of the infrared temperature measuring probe deviates, which leads to the error of the measured battery temperature, and thus causes the deviation of the IV test; 3.

The temperature of the standard piece is low in winter, and the test calibration temperature is generally 25℃, which is the best, and the low temperature of the standard piece will cause the deviation of the standard position.
