Intelligent power allocation for battery pack testing

A battery pack test system, comprising:

• a power allocation manager comprising a power cluster with a plurality of power units and a power router that routes power from each of the plurality of power units, wherein the power allocation manager is configured to dynamically switch allocations of power from individual power units of the plurality of power units to a plurality of test channels each connected to a different device under test (DUT);
• a plurality of test bench control units each configured to interface with the power router and a different corresponding device under test, and each comprising a plurality of measurement sensors for measuring characteristics of the corresponding DUT;
• and
• a switch module comprising a switch matrix comprising blocks of switches having a predetermined number of columns and a predetermined number of rows, wherein each row provides connections to a DUT and each column provides connections to one of the individual power units, so that no two DUT's are connected together and/or no two connections are made in a same column.
