How does a battery cycler work?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A battery cycler will analyse battery function through charge/discharge cycles, by measuring the cells response over time. During battery cycling, a number of parameters can be measured, including capacity,  efficiency of the battery and self-discharge. The battery cycler is also suitable for use with capacitors and supercapacitors.

Each module of the BCS-9xx series is composed of 8 channels, and is equipped with five charge currents ranges. The BT-Lab software offers great usability for battery cycling. With the Modulobat technique it is possible to work with 11 different control modes, which allows for easy programming of unique sequences.

In battery cycling, the classic charge/discharge testing measures the net result of all the electrochemical processes taking place inside the cell. In addition to charge/discharge testing, the use of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (one of the control modes) has become more popular in recent years. EIS, especially in the low frequency range, can be used to monitor and control the degradation of the battery,[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” el_class=”pg-sec-content-bd heading-cus-sec” z_index=””][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1583152228132{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]

Why use a BioLogic battery cycler?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The state-of-the-art-system is modular, and has superior performance and specifications. These include the 5 current ranges (every decade), 18 bit resolution in current and voltage, high precision coulometry, fast bandwidths (rise and fall times), smart sampling, interfacing with external equipment and temperature probes and many more.

Another unique feature of the BCS-9xx battery cyclers is the capability of doing Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) experiments. With a frequency range of 10 kHz to 10 mHz the BCS-9xx battery cycler is Ideal for studying battery properties.

A method to determine the lifespan of batteries in a relatively short period (weeks) without the need to operate at elevated temperatures is High precision Coulometry (HPC). High precision coulometry was developed in 2010 by Dr. Jeff Dahn’s laboratory at Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, Canada and requires very accurate measurements of the charge/discharge quantities from a battery. Degradation rates are calculated from the difference between charge and discharge values. The BCS-9xx battery cyclers deliver ultra-high precision measurements for optimal predictions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” el_class=”pg-sec-content-bd heading-cus-sec” z_index=””][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1583152247258{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]

Examples of applications

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Simulation of complex battery cycles that model real life activity.

The BT-Lab software allows you to simulate real-life activity, like the profile for an electric car driving in an urban area during rush hour. Such a simulation requires thousands of steps, which makes the creation of such files very difficult and time consuming. To make this easier, there is a tool in the software to import a txt file to mimic this kind of profile. Furthermore, algorithms will check a number of parameters or mismatch with the instrument or the battery, and warn the user during programming of a test cycle.

 

Supercapacitors

Supercapacitors are among the most promising devices for energy storage. These capacitors deliver charge much faster than batteries, and tolerates many more charge and discharge cycles than rechargeable batteries. Using a battery cycler, the charge/discharge capacities can be investigated with a potential scan and constant power discharge.

These potentiodynamic and constant power discharges allow you to characterize the cycling performance of the supercapacitor. Using these characterizations, it is possible to determine if the studied supercapacitor fits the need (according to its corresponding pulse output) of the electronic device to powered.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”10712″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#eb6209″ thickness=”2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” el_class=”pg-sec-content-bd heading-cus-sec” z_index=””][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
