For Energy Storage Integrators

A decade in the field, starts at the gate.

Stationary battery storage demands long-horizon performance from cells that drift lot to lot. Catch chemistry variability before commissioning — with QC built for UL 9540, UL 9540A, and NFPA 855.

How Micantis Helps

From supplier datasheet to commissioning report.

Cell Qualification

A 10-year promise on 20 cycles of evidence.

Formation-based prediction and abbreviated cycling on every supplier sample, with the math to back the long-horizon claim. Side-by-side comparisons across chemistries.

Formation-based early cycle life prediction
Side-by-side supplier and chemistry comparison
Datasheet vs. measured capacity, energy, DCIR
Confidence intervals on every result

Lot Drift Detection

Catch chemistry drift before it lands on the jobsite.

Statistical comparison of every incoming lot against the supplier's historical baseline. Drift that would compound over 10 years gets caught at receiving.

Statistical comparison vs. supplier baseline
Anomaly alerts on capacity, OCV, and impedance
Lot rejection workflow with reason codes
Tightened sampling when drift is detected

UL 9540 Reporting

Compliance packages in days, not weeks.

UL 9540, UL 9540A, NFPA 855, and IEC 62619 reports compiled from connected test data. Templates handle the formatting so engineers stay on the analysis.

Templates aligned to UL 9540 / 9540A and IEC 62619
NFPA 855 documentation packages
Auto-populated from cyclers, chambers, and abuse rigs
Version controlled for AHJ review

Propagation Analysis

UL 9540A trigger and propagation, automated.

Multi-channel temperature, voltage, and gas data from every trigger event aligned on a single timeline. Compare runs across chemistries and pack architectures without rebuilding spreadsheets.

Containment vs. propagation classification
Trigger characterization with peak rate and time-to-event
Temperature gradients mapped across the pack
Side-by-side comparison across designs and lots

Traceability

Cell to module to rack to site.

Every test result tied to a cell, every cell tied to a module, every module tied to a rack on a site. When a string underperforms, the supplier and lot are named in minutes.

Bidirectional drill down from site to supplier cert
Lot scoping for warranty campaigns
Time-stamped records for AHJ audits
UN 38.3 transport documentation tracked

Onboard new cell suppliers in 1–2 weeks instead of 3–6 months of testing.

80% less doc time

UL 9540 / 9540A and NFPA 855 compliance packages compiled from connected data.

AHJ ready

Version controlled records, exportable raw data, and full traceability for jurisdictional review.

FAQ

Common questions from BESS integrators.

Can you predict 10-year cycle life from formation?

Formation-based prediction is calibrated against supplier-specific baselines and validated against measured cycling. We report confidence intervals so you can make decisions with the right amount of caution.

Do you support UL 9540A propagation testing?

Yes. Multi-channel temperature, voltage, and gas data are tracked together on one timeline so containment vs. propagation classification is automated.

Does this work with our existing test equipment?

Yes. Arbin, Maccor, Neware, Bitrode, BaSyTec, Digatron, PEC and others, plus Espec, Thermotron, and Cincinnati Sub-Zero chambers and custom abuse-test rigs.

How much of each lot do we need to test?

Sampling depends on supplier history, lot size, and the program's risk tolerance. We help design the plan and tighten or loosen it as data accrues.

How long does implementation take?

Most teams are running in 2–4 weeks. Week 1 covers data integration, week 2 training and spec configuration, weeks 3–4 pilot testing and report customization.
