By measuring the voltage across the battery, its remaining capacity can be preliminarily estimated. The constant current discharge method is a more accurate battery capacity test method. Connect the battery to a certain load and discharge it at a constant current until the battery voltage drops to the predetermined cut-off voltage.
Normally when batteries are tested and the discharge curves and power values are calculated, the constant current mode is used. This has become standard method for battery manufacturers. This also approximates the system using linear power regulator.
Therefore, battery formation and test systems require high precision analog front ends and controllers. There are two modes of battery charging and discharging: constant current mode and constant voltage mode. In a typical battery charging system, the batteries are charged or discharged at a constant current until the preset voltage is reached.
The constant current discharge method is a more accurate battery capacity test method. Connect the battery to a certain load and discharge it at a constant current until the battery voltage drops to the predetermined cut-off voltage. By measuring the discharge time and combining the current value, the battery capacity can be accurately calculated.
The battery must be tested strictly before it comes out of the factory, and the battery test equipment is used to verify battery pack functionality and performance. For the most commonly used battery testing system in the market is the separation solution, which is a mature solution.
When the battery voltage reaches 4.1 or 4.2 V (typical), the charger switches to a constant voltage phase to eliminate overcharging. Superior battery test equipment manages the transition from CC to CV smoothly to ensure maximum capacity is reached without risking damage to the battery.
Constant Current AA (A) Battery Tester
The battery tester can test either a AA battery or a AAA battery. It is a constant current battery tester and draws 250mA from the battery being measured regardless of that battery''s voltage. Drawing a realistic load from the battery allows for a more accurate measurement of the remaining capacity of the battery. The tester is powered by a 9V ...

Constant current constant voltage (CCCV) cycling with INTELLO
One of the most common charging methods for commercial batteries is CCCV or constant current constant voltage charging. Following the constant current charging step above, the battery is switched to potentiostatic control, and a voltage (usually the end voltage limit of the CC step) is applied while the current drops. Once the current drops ...
