From its beginnings in 1957, Bitrode has consistently produced specialized battery formation and lab testing equipment noted for standard-setting excellence in accuracy, reliability, innovation, and engineering.

Over fifty years, Bitrode has consistently met the changing needs of a sophisticated market by developing dependable, high performing equipment and long-term support to battery manufacturing companies of all sizes. We offer an extensive product line of formation and laboratory test equipment, as well as software tools, battery simulation, and manufacturing automation tools appropriate to all battery applications and chemistries.

Our clients—Johnson Controls, Maxell, Exide, Trojan, EnerDel, Yardney, General Motors, Ford, Detroit Testing Labs and Intertek among others across the battery, automotive and electronics industries—value Bitrode for turnkey collaborations, and ongoing service.

The Bitrode Guarantee

Bitrode is the only manufacturer to offer a standard two-year factory warranty covering all parts and labor on all equipment, with optional extensions. Our electronic and mechanical assembly teams utilize state-of-the-art technology to upgrade machines to meet customers’ changing needs. Because we keep all drawings on every piece of Bitrode equipment, our technicians routinely service and update units twenty, thirty, forty, and even fifty years old, in the field.

Bitrode Innovations

One of the first in the industry to anticipate the ascendency of the hybrid and electric vehicle market, Bitrode launched development and production of their first HEV high-power, high-speed equipment and test systems well before automakers stepped up investment in HV, EV and HEV technologies early in the last decade. Our test equipment—known as the “FTF” line of machines—performs advanced applications that require fast switching speeds, extensive data collection, and CAN interface for cell, module and pack level testing to assure that EV and HEV batteries can pass rigorous standard tests (FUDS, ECE-15, DST). The units’ unique regenerative capabilities can return power back to the power grid, thus virtually eliminating heat dissipation, and recycling electricity. Since the release of our first machine in 2003, Bitrode has led the industry in complete turn-key solutions for HEV/EV cell, module, and pack testing.
