DCIR for a battery has many uses, from helping to model battery behavior and degradation mechanisms to identifying defective batteries. Source measure units like the Keithley 24xx Series Graphical Touchscreen SMUs provide the functionality to run this test with a single instrument.
The efficiency of discharge is affected by the internal resistance of the cell and is measured by the value of Direct Current Internal Resistance (DCIR). The variation in DCIR influences cell discharge capacity, and most manufacturers consider indicator of cell performance.
The DCIR of a cell is normally measured using a defined current against time pulse. Typically the pulse duration is from 1s to 30s and most quoted values are for a 10s pulse. The resistance is the maximum voltage drop divided by the current demand.
Rapid diagnostic tests, such as direct-current (DC) internal resistance (DCIR) measurements, 11,12 pseudo-random binary pulse tests, 13,14,15 and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) 1,16 can be performed in only a few minutes or less and require a fraction of the energy and power compared with a full charge and discharge.
The DCIR of a cell is the Direct Current Internal Resistance. This is the resistance in charge and discharge to a direct current demand applied across the terminals. The electrical symbol for a cell. Used in any electrical circuit schematic and in it’s simplest form.
After obtaining results from the DCIR test, the selected cells are subjected to the life cycle testing. For this, a Battery Testing System (BTS) controls the charging/discharging parameters, while a thermal chamber maintains a preset temperature for the tests.
