ABSTRACT:
A technique for measuring battery characteristics comprises measuring a battery terminal voltage, a charge/discharge current and a charge/discharge time. The technique entails arithmetically determining an integrated power, an integrated charge quantity and an integrating time interval over a period extending from a start of a charge/discharge process to an end thereof, determining a mean terminal voltage by dividing the integrated power by the integrated charge quantity, determining a mean charge current by dividing the integrated charge quantity by the integrating time interval, determining a polarization resistance of the battery on the basis of the mean terminal voltage and the mean current by using a battery polarization resistance model, and finally determining an open-circuit voltage of the battery on the basis of the polarization resistance. The information culled from the above technique may be used to control a charge/discharge process and to predict the remaining life of the battery.
