Lithium-ion Battery / Charger Measurement & Management
CCCV Charging Current/Voltage, Case Strain, Pressure, Temperature, etc.

■ Lithium-ion batteries are charged using the Constant Current, Constant Voltage (CCCV) method, which manages both voltage and current.

When charging from a discharged state, charging starts in constant current mode. When the cell voltage reaches 4.2V, it switches to constant voltage charging, restricting current so as not to exceed 4.2V.

Full charge is determined by charging time or the decrease in charging current.

Overview

■ Due to the characteristics of lithium, both charging voltage and current in lithium-ion batteries must be managed with high precision.
The PSA Series DC Ammeter features an extremely low input resistance of approx. 40 mΩ (±10A, ±5A, and ±2A types), enabling high-precision measurement.

■ Measuring with an extremely low-loss shunt resistor minimizes voltage drop, making it suitable for current measurement in low-voltage devices as well as charge/discharge evaluation of batteries and cells.

■ For lithium-ion batteries, parameters such as case temperature and strain caused by thermal expansion need to be managed accurately in real time.
The ST Series Strain / Pressure Meter allows selection of excitation voltages (2.5V / 5V / 10V / custom) and bridge resistances (120 Ω / 350 Ω, etc.).
The HT-T Series NTC Thermistor Thermometer utilizes a proprietary B2-constant logarithmic approximation algorithm for high-precision conversion (within ±0.05% rdg @ 0 to 150 °C).

■ Basic Characteristics Measurement: Confirming CC-to-CV transition points (voltage), etc.

■ Data Acquisition for Capacity Calculation: Used for Coulomb counting (current integration), etc.

■ Charging Current: Connect PSA Series DC Ammeter
