Measuring the internal resistance of a battery is important to ensure that it is in good condition and to monitor its performance over time. The two most commonly used methods for measuring IR are EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) and DC load testing.
The IR of the battery can be calculated by dividing the voltage drop across the terminals by the load current. In this article, we will explain what IR (Internal Resistance) is. We will also go over how to test for it and what the normal range of IR is for healthy battery cells. What is IR (Internal Resistance)?
Internal resistance is one of the limiting factors for the output power of lithium-ion batteries. When the internal resistance of the battery is high, the current passing through the battery will result in a significant voltage drop, leading to a reduction in the battery’s output power. b. Internal resistance leads to self-discharge in batteries.
Temperature plays a substantial role in influencing internal resistance. Generally, higher temperatures lead to lower internal resistance. To enhance the performance of lithium-ion cells/batteries, various measures can be employed to reduce internal resistance. Here are some common methods: 1. Optimization of Battery Materials
The most common method for determining a battery’s internal resistance is to connect it to a circuit with a resistor, measure voltage through the battery, calculate current, measure voltage through the resistor, find the voltage drop, and use Kirchhoff laws to determine the remaining resistance, which is internal resistance.
Now, let’s connect the circuit to measure the internal resistance: Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive (red) lead of the digital multimeter using an alligator clip. Connect the negative terminal of the battery to the known-value resistor using another alligator clip.
