Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ27320
Hello,
I am new to battery management techniques, so probably my questions will be a bit naive for this forum.
What I need is a simple to use and non-expensive solution to measure the capacity of 1-cell Li-ion/Li-Polymer batteries.
These batteries I use are supposed to have 40 and 60mAh capacity, but some of them don't seem to charge and overall the capacity seems to be lower than specified.
These are non-brand small batteries so it's no wonder their capacity is low, but what I need is to have a tool to measure and probably monitor their capacity, and selenct those which are within let's say 70-80% of the specified capacity.
I looked through some evaluation modules by TI such as bq78z100EVM, but overall this solution seems a bit of overkill for my task.
On needs to either select the battery model from the list or to load as a table, but I am not sure the batteries I have will be listed there.
I also couldn't see an example of capacity measurement done by those TI modules.
Can you please help to find a solution?
Thanks!
Karl
