The system function testing of EV batteries is mainly to verify the basic function and acquisition test of electric vehicle battery system. The electric vehicle battery system must be able to measure and monitor important parameters such as the voltage of the EV battery pack, the voltage of the minimum monitoring units, the system operating current, the system temperature, the insulation resistanc...
Lithium-ion batteries are used in many scenarios, and there is no shortage of complex, changing and harsh environments. For example, some batteries need to operate over an extremely wide temperature range, some need to operate under sustained vibration, some need to operate under high-rate charge/discharge conditions, etc. However, Li-ion battery is a hermetically sealed body containing both oxidi...
Battery life includes cycle life and calendar life. Generally speaking, battery life is a performance indicator based on cycle life. The battery cycle life test is performed by a battery cycle life tester, and the cycle life is evaluated by simulating the actual working conditions of the battery to obtain various performance indicators after a certain number of cycles. The performance indicators o...
The cycle life, charge-discharge performance, and safety performance of lithium-ion batteries have a great correlation with battery cell temperature. Therefore, for lithium-ion battery packs, the importance of thermal management systems is unquestionable. However, the first step in designing a lithium-ion battery thermal management system requires accurate knowledge of the battery cell heat genera...
The residual capacity loss of the battery, also known as the charge retention, is also known as the self-discharge rate. When the battery is in the open circuit state, due to the internal spontaneous reaction, it will cause a certain loss of chemical energy, that is, self-discharge, resulting in a residual capacity loss of the battery. For a specific battery, the battery charge retention is mainly...
The battery cell energy efficiency refers to the percentage of the discharge energy to the charging energy in the battery charge-discharge cycle under given conditions. Generally speaking, charging and discharging cycle tests are performed on battery cells under different temperature conditions, so as to obtain the energy efficiency of the battery cells. The following table is a simple battery cel...
Power characteristics are an important performance indicator of EVs, as well as an important indicator of EV battery cells. HPPC test, short for Hybrid Pulse Power Characterization Test, refers to the test of discharging and feedback (charging) pulses within the range of current and voltage available to the battery to characterize the dynamic power capability of the battery. The main purpose of th...
The constant-power discharge performance of lithium-ion battery cells is another feature to focus on. Because this determines the ability of the battery system to stabilize the output power, which in turn affects the vehicle performance of the EV. The following table is the main test steps for the constant power discharge test of battery cells at different temperatures and different powers. The ba...
Driving range is the main performance indicator of an EV, and this is mainly determined by the available capacity of the EV battery system. Lithium-ion batteries are highly sensitive to temperature and current rate. By analyzing the charge-discharge curve of the battery under different working conditions, and analyzing its charge-discharge capacity and energy and other parameters, the battery's su...
