Capacity is the leading health indicator of a battery, but estimating it on the fly is complex. The traditional charge/discharge/charge cycle is still the most dependable method to measure battery capacity. While portable batteries can be cycled relatively quickly, a full cycle on large lead acid batteries is not practical for capacity measurement.
In this video, applications engineer Barry Bolling uses a GS610 source measure unit to perform a charge-discharge test on a lead acid battery to show how to test lead acid battery capacity. The GS610 is made up of a programmable current and voltage source, a voltmeter, and an ammeter. Each function can be combined into numerous operation modes.
1. Objective Methods other than capacity tests are increasingly used to assess the state of charge or capacity of stationary lead-acid batteries. Such methods are based on one of the following methods: impedance (AC resistance), admittance (AC conductance).
There are no shortages of battery testers, but most lack accuracy. Capacity, the leading health indicator of a battery, is difficult to obtain on the fly. Stating that a battery tester measuring internal resistance will also provide capacity estimation is misleading.
Also known as capacity, different types of batteries have different characterizations curves that show their amp-hours as a function of time. Verifying the manufacturer's capacity after the battery has been used for some time is known as a battery charge-discharge test.
Test methods range from taking a voltage reading, to measuring the internal resistance by a pulse or AC impedance method, to coulomb counting, and to taking a snapshot of the chemical battery with Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS).
