Technical FAQs 4

How do you measure battery capacity?

The most accurate way to measure battery capacity is through a discharge test. In this process, the battery is discharged at a known rate (in amps) until it reaches a predefined voltage limit. By multiplying the discharge rate by the time it takes for the battery to reach that limit, you can calculate the battery’s capacity in amp-hours (Ah).

How to calculate lithium ion battery capacity?

Formula: `Capacity (Ah) = Energy (Wh) / Voltage (V)` Example: A battery is rated at 7.4Wh and the voltage is 3.7V, then the capacity is `7.4 / 3.7 = 2Ah`. These formulas are simple and practical, and are suitable for quick estimates. How to Measure Lithium ion Battery Capacity?

How to test battery capacity?

This post demonstrates the procedure to test the capacity of a battery. The test will determine and compare the battery’s real capacity to its rated capacity. A load bank, voltmeters, and an amp meter will be utilized to discharge the battery at a specific current till a minimum voltage is achieved.
