Measurement example

The chemical reactions in batteries involve several processes and each process has its own reaction speed. By sweeping the frequency and measuring the impedance, the characteristics of each part can be evaluated separately. This allows to identify battery deterioration factors.

Measured data for pristine batteries

Some high-capacity lithium-ion batteries have an internal impedance of less than 1 mΩ. The BT4560 can measure ultra-low impedances of 1 mΩ or less with stability and repeatability. The four-terminal-pair method reduces the effects of induced magnetic fields, such as cable routing, eddy currents caused by surrounding metal, and interference when multiple units are used simultaneously.

Measured data for degraded batteries

Compared to the conventional four-terminal method, the stability of the measuring instrument incorporated into the production line is improved.

Measure efficiently by combining the HIOKI BT4560 and SW1001

Optimal set-up for a time-saving solution to measure: a switch mainframe, the BT4560 battery impedance tester and a 6 channel battery test fixture. The EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) for each of the six 18650-size LIB’s is measured automatically, controlled by the switch mainframe SW1001.
