The facility includes an explosive and fireproof chamber, multiple battery abuse test rigs, a preparation area and robust sensor equipment.

During a visit to the company’s new testing laboratories, economy minister Conor Murphy said: "This pioneering new facility is a significant development for the north which will strengthen our position as a leader in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, and green technologies.

"Supported by Invest NI, this is the first battery testing centre in Ireland, and one of only a few across these islands. The new facility will play a crucial role in supporting the growing demand for battery innovation and safety testing."
