Abstract: A method for screening and matching cells for qualification and binning can include conducting a first and second impedance-based measurement of a cell separated by a rest interval of the cell and analyzing change/shift in the impedance spectrum obtained before and after the rest interval to afford algorithms to match, categorize, or group cells within a plurality of cells (C1 . . . Cn) that have the same, substantially the same, or fall within a range of structural or functional parameters based on the impedance change/shift in the impedance spectrum.

Abstract: A method of calibration is described that simplifies the measurement of battery impedance conducted in-situ while determining battery state-of-health. A single shunt measurement with a known Sum of Sines (SOS) current, at the desired frequency spread and known root mean squared (RMS) current is used to create a calibration archive. A calibration selected from this archive is used to calibrate an impedance measurement made on the battery.

Abstract: Impedance testing devices, circuits, systems, and related methods are disclosed. A Device Under Test (DUT) is excited with a multispectral excitation signal for an excitation time period while the DUT is under a load condition from a load operably coupled to the DUT. A response of the DUT is sampled over a sample time period. The sample time period is configured such that it includes an in-band interval during the excitation time period and one or more out-of-band intervals outside of the in-band interval. A response of the DUT to the load condition during the in-band interval is estimated by analyzing samples of the response from the one or more out-of-band intervals. Adjusted samples are computed by subtracting the estimated load response during the in-band interval from the samples from the in-band interval. An impedance of the DUT is estimated by analyzing the adjusted samples.
