Abstract: Described herein are techniques of characterizing electrical characteristics of a battery cell. The techniques employ a battery monitor coupled to a battery to measure voltage of the battery cell when it is in a recovery state after application of a stimulus (e.g., discharging or charging the battery). The measured voltage of the battery cell in the recovery state is then used to generate a characterization of the battery cell. The characterization may be used, for example, to match the battery cell with one or more similar battery cells to be coupled in a battery pack. In another example, the characterization may be used to verify authenticity of the battery cell.

Abstract: A system and method are described for monitoring batteries at various phases of their lifecycle. The batteries may be monitored in non-operational and operational states. The monitoring may be done wirelessly. The information gathered from monitoring the batteries may be used to make decisions about the use of a battery.

Abstract: Various examples are directed to configuring a configurable hardware module to perform a measurement of a physical quantity. A configuration manager may receive an indication of the physical quantity and performance factor data describing the measurement of the physical quantity. The configuration manager may generate a hardware configuration of the hardware based at least in part on the indication of the physical quantity and the performance factor data. The hardware configuration may comprise instruction data to configure the hardware module to execute a dynamic measurement of the physical quantity. The configuration manager may also generate configuration data describing the hardware configuration, wherein the configuration data comprises simulation data comprising input parameters for a simulation of the hardware configuration and hardware configuration data for configuring a hardware module to implement at least a portion of the hardware configuration.
