Ohmic Test Methods

• Conductance
• A low AC voltage signal is impressed across the
  battery terminals and the AC current response is
  measured. The conductance (acceptance) is the
  ratio of the AC test current impressed on the
  circuit to the AC voltage
• DC Resistance
• Short duration DC load on the cell/unit to
  measure step change in current and voltage. By
  dividing the change in voltage by the change in
  current, a DC resistance is calculated using
  Ohms Law
• Impedance
• Performed by sending an AC current of a known
  frequency and amplitude, across the cell/unit and
  measuring the AC voltage drop. Compute the
  resulting impedance using Ohms Law

6
What Is Conductance?

• Conductance is a measurement of the batteries
  electronic and ionic components to determine how
  much power the battery can supply
• As the batteries age, their ability to deliver
  power decreases along with conductance
• Accurate correlation to discharge testing
• Reliable indication of battery state-of-health
• Conductance can identify most battery failures
  before they happen
• Conductance is a passive, quick, safe, easy and
  reliable way to determine a batterys relative
  condition or state of health

7
How Conductance Is Measured

• A low A/C voltage signal is impressed across the
  battery terminals (VAC)
• The A/C Current (IAC) response is measured
• Conductance (G) is the ratio of the AC test
  current impressed on the circuit to the AC
  voltage.
• Using Ohms Law G IAC/VAC
• Significant changes in the conductance value
  typically indicate a significant change in the
  performance of a cell.
• Change in ohmic values in excess of 20 loss
  should be considered significant.

Conductance Testing vs. Discharge Testing

• CONDUCTANCE TEST
• Test battery at any time to identify major
  problems
• Fast, low-frequency AC test, does not affect
  battery
• Does not prematurely age the battery
• No heat produced, which increases safety. Is
  ideal to qualify battery as safe for further
  discharge testing
• Test can be repeated immediately with same
  accuracy to verify result
• Test results are available in seconds per
  battery, with no further calculations
• Portable, lightweight, easy to use and operate.
  No external power required

• DISCHARGE TEST
• Battery must be fully charged for test data to be
  meaningful
• Requires large amount of energy to be removed in
  order to be accurate
• Each test is a cycle, shortening battery life
• Dangerous potential for heat and sparks. Serious
  injury and damage can occur if battery is faulty.
• Battery needs to be recharged after each test
• Battery is not available to support network for
  up to 24 hours during test
• Capacity testers are cumbersome and costly
