4 FAQs about Principle of resistance measurement of new energy battery cabinet

How to measure the internal resistance of a battery?

The internal resistance is measured with the international standard AC signal (1000Hz±10%) by means of four-wire method to eliminate the impact of the resistance of the test leads on the measured value, and the battery voltage can also be measured by the same connection method.

What is battery resistance?

The overall battery resistance consists of ohmic resistance, as well as inductive and capacitive reactance. The diagram and electrical values differ for every battery. Measuring the battery by resistance is almost as old as the battery itself and several methods have developed over time, all of which are still in use.

Is internal resistance related to capacity?

There is a notion that internal resistance is related to capacity, but this is false. The resistance of modern lead acid and lithium-ion batteries stays flat through most of the service life. Better electrolyte additives have reduced internal corrosion issues that affect the resistance.

Why is internal resistance important?

The internal resistance provides valuable information about a battery as high reading hints at end-of-life. This is especially true with nickel-based systems. Resistance measurement is not the only performance indicator as the value between batches of lead acid batteries can vary by 5–10 percent, especially with stationary units.
