By measuring the voltage across the battery, its remaining capacity can be preliminarily estimated. The constant current discharge method is a more accurate battery capacity test method. Connect the battery to a certain load and discharge it at a constant current until the battery voltage drops to the predetermined cut-off voltage.
Before we dive into the actual measurement methods, let’s have a quick brush-up on the units commonly used to express battery capacity: Battery capacity is typically measured in units such as Ampere-Hours (Ah) and Watt-Hours (Wh). If measuring via AH, it represents the number of amperes of current a battery can deliver over the span of one hour.
The purpose of the capacity, or load bank test is to determine the true capacity of the battery by finding the time that it takes the battery to reach the end of discharge voltage and compare it to the expected time from the battery manufacturer’s published ratings. The ratio between the resulting time and the expected time, with
Before determining a diagnostic from a battery capacity result and judging it only by the percentage, it is important to confirm the average cell temperature at the beginning, and if a correction factor was used or is required, then it needs to be compared to previous results.
For professional maintenance personnel, the capacity tester is the preferred tool for measuring battery capacity. By simulating the actual charging and discharging process of the battery, the capacity tester can accurately measure the capacity information of the battery.
1. Understanding Battery Capacity Battery capacity is quantified in ampere-hours (Ah) or milliampere-hours (mAh). It represents the total amount of charge a battery can store and deliver at a specific voltage. A higher capacity indicates a longer duration for which the battery can power devices before needing a recharge.
