The impact of internal impedance on capacity

The internal capacity andinternal impedance of a battery are closely related. An increase in internal impedance causes the battery to behave as if it had a lower capacity. This phenomenon occurs because some of the internal charge can no longer participate in the chemical reactions that produce current.

Why batteries degrade over time

Although aging is inevitable, some precautions can be taken to extend the life of batteries. One of the most effective strategies is toavoid fully discharging the battery.

The depth of discharge and its impact

The depth of discharge indicates the amount of electrical charge extracted from a battery relative to its maximum capacity. Exceeding a depth of discharge of 70% can lead to deep discharge, accelerating battery wear.

Monitoring internal impedance to assess health status

Internal impedance is a valuable indicator of the health of a battery. By measuring impedance over time, early signs of degradation can be detected.

Adelsystem CBI technology for battery management.

Devices such as Adelsystem CBIs make it possible to constantly monitor the internal impedance of batteries. By comparing the measured values with those of a new battery, it is possible to estimate the health of the battery and predict its remaining life.
