Abstract

A bench for mechanically characterising a battery cell by applying a compressive force includes a frame carrying a bottom compression assembly and a top compression assembly, means for applying a compressive force to the cell between the compression assemblies, and a force sensor. Each compression assembly includes a compression part and a mounting surrounding the compression part. The compression part and the mounting are at least partly mechanically dissociated. The mounting of the top compression assembly carries movement sensors that measure the movement between the two mountings.
