-
Charge current and voltage limits
-
Cut-off thresholds
-
Discharge profiles (constant current, power, resistance)
-
Cycle repeatability
-
Internal resistance measurement
-
Energy and capacity retention over time
-
Even minor deviations in current, voltage, or temperature can lead to skewed data or long-term degradation. Therefore, the precision and control capability of the power equipment used in battery testing is vital.
Understanding the Battery Test Graphs
Battery testing with the FTP1000 and FT6300 produces valuable data visualized through real-time graphs. These graphs help interpret a batterys behavior under different test conditions. Common graphs include:
1. Voltage vs. Time
This graph shows how the battery voltage changes during charging and discharging. A stable rise during charging and a gradual fall during discharging indicate good battery health. Sudden drops may suggest internal damage or capacity loss.
2. Current vs. Time
Displays the charge and discharge current over time. During constant current charging (CC mode), the current stays flat. When switching to constant voltage (CV), current gradually tapers off. Consistent current behavior is essential for verifying control precision.
Efficient and accurate battery testing is essential for advancing energy storage technology. The combination of FaithTech FTP1000 and FT6300 provides a flexible, high-performance solution for both charge and discharge testingensuring reliable data for decision-making in development and production environments.
Whether you're building the next generation of EV batteries or testing cells for consumer electronics, this solution offers the precision, control, and automation needed to deliver trusted results.
