Pickering Interfaces will showcase its range of industry-standard modular signal switching and sensor simulation solutions for electronic test and verification, including its new 5-amp battery simulator, at The Battery Show North America 2025, at Huntington Place in Detroit, from October 6th to 9th, 2025 (Booth 5128).
Previewing the new 5A battery simulator, Stephen Jenkins, simulation product manager at Pickering, explains: “Our new 5A battery simulator is a next-generation PXI/PXIe module designed to simplify and enhance BMS (battery management system) testing.
With up to four fully isolated channels per slot, each capable of supplying up to 8V and 5A, it enables customers to emulate battery cells or modules in low and high-voltage stacks.
The 5A also combines high current drive, precision readback, and hardware safety features in a compact platform, making it ideal for demanding applications across electric vehicles and energy storage applications.
Also highlighted on the stand will be the company’s BMS hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test demo, which includes the following Pickering products:
- PXI battery simulator module – to simulate batteries in a stacked architecture
- PXI fault insertion module – to simulate cell shorts and broken wires
- High power, high voltage and high current PXI switching modules
- Modules housed in an LXI chassis with supporting cables and connectors
In addition to the new 5A battery simulator and BMS demo, Pickering will showcase the following products and demos for signal switching and sensor simulation:
- High power and high voltage PXI switching modules
- Modules housed in PXIe fully hybrid chassis, and LXI/USB modular chassis – capable of hosting the company’s range of 3U PXI switching and simulation modules in an LXI environment, allowing remote control over a gigabit Ethernet connection
- Supporting cables and connectors, together with its free online graphical
Cable Design Tool - Reed relays from Pickering Group’s relay division, Pickering Electronics
Pickering Interfaces stands behind its manufactured products with a standard three-year warranty and guaranteed long-term product support.
