Advanced Batteries Testing System

Usage

Multipurpose tool for laboratory test of all types of batteries: secondary and primary batteries including: phones batteries, vehicle starter batteries, computers batteries etc…

Design and Features

The system shall be made of a base unit powered by a PC-Battery Lab software and shall be supplied with Control PC and use different batteries holders accessories.

Electrical specifications

Battery Chemistries: all standard types: Li-based: Li-ion,

Li-Phosphate; Lead Acid; Ni-based: NiMH, NiCd

Battery Capacity Range: 50mAh to 1000Ah

Battery Voltage Range: Nominal 1.2V-36V (max 45V

total) supports serial connection of: Up to 10 Li-ion cells

(3.6V/cell); Up to 18 Lead Acid cells (2.0V/cell); Up to 30

Nickel-based cells (1.2V/cell).

Maximum Charge Power: 100W per channel, 400W total

Maximum Discharge Power: 80W per channel, 320W total.

160W per channel pair using Dual Power Port cable. External

Load may be used to increase discharge up to 2400W.

Maximum Charge/Discharge Current: 30mA to 10A set

in 1mA increments. 20A maximum discharge rate using

Dual Power Port cable. External Load may be used to

increase discharge up to 240A

Output Frequency: Square 2kHz (500 microseconds)

Accuracy: Voltage = 0.1%, Current = 0.25% full scale

Power Management: Current automatically scaled down

if power limits are exceeded. Message indicates scaled test.

Charge Methods: Charge methods are dependent upon

chemistry: Li-ion & Lead Acid = constant voltage with a

current limit. Nickel-based = constant current with optional

Reverse Load Charge method.

Discharge Methods: Constant current / Constant power

Input Power: 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz

Test control and data acquisition

Supplied with a PC and BATTERY LAB software with data transfer cables.

System sample rate: 500 microseconds
