We design and manufacture the industry’s most advanced precision battery testing equipment.
NOVONIX’s world-class Ultra-High Precision Coulometry (UHPC) systems are fully functional battery cyclers that allow our customers to test electrochemical processes within cells rapidly and in various form-factors, with industry leading precision and accuracy.
For over 10 years, leading battery cell manufacturers and researchers have been leveraging UHPC’s unmatched data precision to accelerate innovation and make smarter, data-driven decisions—capabilities that other equipment on the market simply can’t offer.

Why UHPC over traditional cyclers?
Existing Test Equipment Excels At
- Test cells to end of life
- Rate capability
- DCIR, GITT
- Application/ drive cycle simulation
Common Theme
Bulk metrics which small uncertainty in raw data or metrics do not matter.
Gaps in Existing Test Equipment
- Understanding impacts on lifetime early (weeks instead of years)
- Material and technology development
- High-throughput studies
- Identifying tiny issues in cells before they become big issues
- Early QC/QA issue detection
Common Theme
Bulk metrics which even small uncertainty can matter a LOT.
NOVONIX® UHPC can do almost anything a normal cycler can do. However, it is designed to measure voltage and current as accurately as possible to detect and elucidate small differences that matter.

Coulombic Efficiency
Part 1 of 5 – Introducing Coulombic Efficiency
Coulombic Efficiency (CE) is often used to gain insight into how battery cells perform. The ratio of capacity counted by the battery cycler during discharge vs charge can be correlated to the amount of unwanted processes consuming electrons in the cell.
However, only NOVONIX UHPC can measure CE at a high enough resolution to separate and quantify the types of electrochemical mechanisms occurring in cells, such as reduction of components at one electrode vs oxidation at the other. These mechanisms are quantifiable via new cycle metrics and analyses which can be used to feed more advanced and accurate analyses and performance models, unlocking deeper insights, faster.
UHPC is used across the battery industry to speed up development cycles including, but not limited to; materials research, process development, identify quality issues in manufacturing, and feed lifetime prediction models to speed up cell testing from months or years to mere weeks.
