Rechargeable Battery Characterization
应用文章
From cellphones to electric vehicles to smart grid energy storage, the use of rechargeable batteries is increasing dramatically. Engineers who design products that use rechargeable batteries must be able to characterize the battery performance in their designs. Programmable, bi-directional DC power supplies and precision power analyzers enable engineers to gain insight into their designs quickly and easily. This application brief explains how a modern power analyzer, in this case the Keysight IntegraVision PA2201A, and a source measure unit can be used to estimate battery life and measure the discharge curve and internal resistance of a battery.
