Digatron Firing Circuits is an international group of companies with engineering, manufacturing and service facilities located in Germany, the United States and China.

Digatron Firing Circuits develops and manufactures computer-controlled test and formation equipment for all kinds of batteries, ranging from batteries for mobile phones to automotive batteries up to huge submarine batteries. Also for other kinds of electrical energy storage devices like fuel cells, supercaps an hybrid systems Digatron Firing Circuits supplies high dynamic test an load simulation systems.

The combination of heavy duty power electronics in linear or switch mode technology along with digital controllers, data acquisition and a comprehensive management software on top, is what makes Digatron Firing Circuits unique in this field.

Our customer are battery manufacturers and companies using batteries in large scale as well as research laboratories working at new technologies for low emission driving solutions. Within this niche segment we are the world market leader with an export rate of 75 %.

Wherever batteries are produced or used as an energy source, test and formation equipment from Digatron Firing Circuits represents the state of the art.

With the continuous development of systems and techniques for battery testing and formation it is not surprising that Digatron Firing Circuits is regarded as a competent partner for both, battery manufacturers and consumers.

Digatron Firing Circuits has acquired an excellent reputation because its equipment is tailored exactly to the customer's requirements. It is manufactured in small quantities with the construction standards of large-scale production. In addition to the standard equipment the product range has extended and improves continuously.

Digatron Firing Circuits is nowadays designing, engineering, supplying and commissioning turn-key projects like formation plants including rectifiers, water-baths, conveyors, exhaust-air, etc. Also turn-key test laboratories with all necessary equipment and appliances will be supplied.

Realizing such complex projects requires the experienced engineering of all components and machinery. To meet these high demands, Digatron Firing Circuits employs an experienced group of project engineers coming form the battery industry.

In 1968 Digatron in Germany produced its first battery testers which gave an excellent reliability and accuracy. So it is not surprising that some of this equipment is still in operational use today.

In 1965 Firing Circuits in Connecticut started its production of rectifiers and inverters, initially for the plating industry and later on for the battery industry. The merger of the companies took place in 1988.

In a continuous development, Digatron Firing Circuits has expanded from the two small companies starting in the 1960's to the present global player. In 1994, after China opened the market for Western products, Digatron set up a production facility in Qingdao, China. 

Nowadays, a team of 150 employees is working for the Digatron Firing Circuits group worldwide. The management of the group is still in the hands of the founder and today's Chairman, Rolf Beckers.
