September 4, 2024 - Vista, California - Transcat | Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test
equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that covers how
battery test systems can check the health of batteries of all shapes and sizes.
We break down the capabilities of various battery test systems and how they can
evaluate voltage, current, power, and energy storage capacity over an expected
operating lifetime. A battery test system with sufficient measurement
capabilities and control functionality can evaluate a battery under test or BUT
for its amount of self-discharge under different operating conditions, such as
changes in load and temperature. Finding a suitable battery test system is a
matter of meeting the measurement requirements for the batteries to be tested.
Modern battery test systems go well beyond simple voltmeters in their
measurement capabilities and functions, with multiple measurement channels that
allow, for example, simultaneous testing of source and sink currents during a
battery’s recharge cycle. Learn more about the most important equipment you will
need when testing batteries by reading the full blog post on Axiom’s website:
Picking the Right Battery Tester for Your Product
Choosing a field meter can take time. Despite the small size, the SMP3 is highly
automated, with built-in test functions to make measurements according to the weighted
peak method (WPM) when comparing against industry limits (reference levels) or for
workplace safety testing to comply with such low-frequency EM exposure standards
as ICNIRP 2010, Directive 2013/35/EU, and IEEE C95-1. To learn more about this unit
make sure to read the full blog post on
Axiom's website.

Batteries are important components for many electronic applications,
providing portable power for everything from electric vehicles (EVs) to wearable
medical devices. But they must be tested in production and measured for regular
maintenance, and battery test systems provide the means of checking the health
of batteries of all shapes and sizes. Battery testers are available as
function-rich, rack-mount systems and smaller, portable units. By understanding
the capabilities of various battery test systems, batteries can be evaluated for
voltage, current, power, and energy storage capacity over an expected operating
lifetime. Some battery testers are “green” and highly efficient, returning most
of the battery power during charge and discharge cycles to the energy grid for
reduced test operating costs.
Rechargeable batteries such as lithium-ion (Li-ion) devices have gained
considerable attention with the growing adoption of EVs. But lead-acid batteries
have long been the electric power sources for vehicles powered by internal
combustion engines. And batteries of all sizes are being developed and added to
many smaller electronic applications including computers and communications
devices. Although older architectures such as lead-acid batteries could be
characterized by essential electrical measurements of voltage, current, and
power, newer, rechargeable batteries such as Li-ion batteries must be evaluated
for many more operating parameters, such as recharge rates and times and
expected operating lifetimes. Modern battery test systems go well beyond simple
voltmeters in their measurement capabilities and functions, with multiple
measurement channels that allow, for example, simultaneous testing of source and
sink currents during a battery’s recharge cycle.
A rechargeable battery may run in sleep or standby modes, with changes in
current consumption. Testing newer rechargeable batteries requires a battery
test system not only with sufficient electrical ranges but with the
functionality to perform measurements that analyze battery performance under
changing conditions. Insufficient switching speed when testing changing battery
operating modes, for example, can result in false production-line test results
which impact the production yields.

from Axiom Test Equipment. For over 16 years Axiom Test Equipment has rented, sold,
repaired and accepted trade-in of test equipment to support your test & measurement
needs. If you would like help selecting any type of test equipment for your next

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
