Why is a voltage measurement subsystem special?

Because of the differential and common-mode voltage range of the different signals digitized by the voltage measurement subsystem, each input to the ADC is specially designed for its specific use in the system.

What makes a good battery test equipment?

Resistance to corrosion and temperature fluctuations are significant attributes of high-quality test equipment. The instruments duty cycle and the maximum power rating also heavily contribute to the usefulness and longevity of the equipment. Long-term battery testing requires test equipment to run continuously.

How accurate is a battery test equipment?

Many types of battery test equipment will have simi-lar accuracy specifications, and while this is important, it should be evaluated in combina-tion with the instrument’s resolution and precision. The accuracy metric alone can hide the true performance difference of the equipment.

Why is choosing the right battery test equipment important?

Therefore, select-ing the right battery test equipment is an important deci-sion for companies and the individual researchers who are responsible for producing results, whether they are starting small, or at massive scale. The expert engineers at Arbin have been advancing the benchmark of “state-of-the-art” battery test equipment for over 27 years.

Why is battery voltage monitoring important?

As reviewed in my earlier article, accurate monitoring of battery voltage, current and temperature is necessary to ensure the safe operation of battery-powered systems such as vacuum cleaners, power tools and e-bikes. In this article, I will focus on voltage monitoring of lithium-based batteries.

What is long-term battery testing?

Long-term battery testing requires test equipment to run continuously. Modern batteries are designed to run for thousands of cycles at a minimum, while xEV and grid storage applications require batteries to last 10’s or even 100’s of thousands of cycles.
