High-Current Battery Discharger If you have a motley collection of 12V batteries in varying states of health, this simple circuit will allow you to easily check their capacity. It's basically a high-current discharge load which is controlled by the NiCd Discharger.
The charging conditions of the battery: charging rate, temperature, cut-off voltage affect the capacity of the battery, thus determining the discharge capacity. Method of determination of battery capacity: Different industries have different test standards according to the working conditions.
High-Current Battery Discharger Circuit Diagram With 12V selected, the prototype unit stops the discharge at 11.4V which corresponds to a cell voltage of 1.9V (this is a pretty good indication of a discharged 12V battery). The loads consist of three automotive lamps, selected to provide discharge rates to suit the battery being tested.
The discharge curve basically reflects the state of the electrode, which is the superposition of the state changes of the positive and negative electrodes. The voltage curve of lithium-ion batteries throughout the discharge process can be divided into three stages
The lithium-ion battery discharge test mode mainly includes constant current discharge, constant resistance discharge, constant power discharge, etc.
Keep the discharge power unchanged, because the voltage of the battery continues to drop during the discharge process, so the current in the constant power discharge continues to rise. Due to the constant power discharge, the time coordinate axis is easily converted into the energy (the product of power and time) coordinate axis.
