Charger and Charging-IC Testing in Bengaluru
Star Automations tests chargers and charging circuits against a simulated discharged battery in Bengaluru, and records charge current, termination and protection behaviour. The charger output must fit within 15 V and our current ratings.
Important: This is an in-house electrical test and test record service for design checks, production, validation and post-repair testing. It is not NABL-accredited testing, and it is not BIS, CE, AIS-140 or RF certification. Our records do not replace a certified laboratory's report. For accredited certification, please use a NABL- or BIS-recognised laboratory.
How a battery and charger simulator tests a charger
One channel acts as a discharged battery that sinks current. A second channel can act as the charger source. We step the battery voltage across a range and record how the charger or charging circuit responds.
Charge current and termination behaviour
- Charge current at each battery voltage point you specify
- Charge termination behaviour as the simulated battery voltage rises
- Protection behaviour within range, such as current limit action
Power banks and adapters
Power bank and adapter outputs can be checked for output voltage and current delivery under a set load, within the sink rating of the simulator.
Chargers up to 15 V, and what is out of range
| In scope | Out of scope |
|---|---|
| Chargers and charging circuits with output inside 15 V and our current ratings | Chargers above 15 V, such as e-bike or EV chargers |
| Charge current, termination and protection checks | Cycle-life, thermal and abuse testing |
| A record for each unit | BIS or other certification |
Also test insulation before dispatch with our hipot and insulation resistance testing service.
How it works
Send the details
Product type, quantity, battery voltage, expected current in each state, and your limits. Ship samples to us or book an on-site visit in Bengaluru.
Agree the test plan
We confirm in writing the supply voltage and output resistance, the device states, the duration, the limits and the connections, and tell you if your product is outside our range.
Test
Trained staff run each unit in a supervised area and log it individually.
Receive the record
You get set conditions, measured values, a graph or log where available, and a pass or fail result for each unit.
What you receive
A test record (PDF) that lists, for each unit: the unit ID, the supply conditions, the measured values, the graph or data file where available, a pass or fail result against your limits, and the instrument model used, test date and operator name. Logged data and photos can be added on request. We run the test you specify. We do not interpret compliance with a standard for you.
Frequently asked questions
Can you test chargers and charging circuits?
Yes, within range. The battery channel acts as a discharged battery that sinks current, while the second channel can act as the charger source, so we can test chargers and charging circuits over a range of battery voltages and record the results. The charger output must fit within 15 V and our current ratings.
What are your voltage limits for charger testing?
Our instruments source up to 15 V, so the charger output must be within 15 V and our current ratings. Anything above 15 V, such as e-bike or EV chargers, is outside our range. We tell you before any work starts if a charger is out of range.
Do you test power banks and adapters?
Yes, within the sink rating of the simulator. We check output voltage and current delivery under a set load and record the results for each unit. Send the rated output so we can confirm the unit is within range before agreeing a test plan.
