Determining Battery State of Charge

Accurate prediction of state of charge (SoC) of a cell / battery pack is crucial to the widespread uptake of energy storage.

Determining Battery State of Charge

Dynamic Charge Acceptance (DCA) testing of cells

The Dynamic Charge Acceptance (DCA) of a cell is a measurement of the battery / cells ability to absorb electrical charge in relation to the capacity of the battery.

DCA testing of cells

Battery cycling and endurance testing

Most testing takes place at low currents relative to the capacity of the battery (the ‘C’ rate), and consists of simple full charges followed by a full discharge.
