Experimental workplace for analysis of batteries

Abstract

To find out the condition and the capacity of a battery they are discharged and charged, while the voltage and the current of the battery are measured. Parameters of batteries are changing with aging and usage. There are many types of batteries that are divided into two main categories, primary batteries and secondary batteries. Their properties depend on used materials and production technique. An experimental workplace was built for battery testing equipped with a regulated power supply, an electronic load, a data acquisition unit and safety components. The workplace is able to test various types of batteries. Measurements are automated with computer program.
