Abstract: A battery is subjected to a discharge current pulse that is normalized to its capacity. The battery voltage is measured before, during and after the pulse, and various parameters are calculated therefrom. The parameters are adjusted depending on both the value of the nominal or maximum cut-off voltage of the battery and on its open circuit voltage prior to the pulse. Based on the open circuit voltage, one of multiple different analysis paths is selected, each representing a different state of charge range. The analysis selected involves a comparison of the adjusted parameters with a set of thresholds that are specific to the selected analysis and that depend on the desired cut-off point between good and poor state of health. Batteries of different nominal voltages, capacities and chemistries can be tested without knowing their state of charge and without the tester having been calibrated for a specific battery model.
