Open Cell Voltage - DC

  • Voltage is function of SOC

  • The voltage across positive and negative terminal of battery while not discharging current to a load

  • The internal resistance of the battery causes the OCV to decrease when current is discharged from it.

...

Open Cell Voltage - AC

  • Voltage is function of SOC

...

  • In this model, R0 is internal resistance, R1 & C1 model the short term transient response, and R2 & C2 model the long term transient response.

...

Table Lookup

  • The table relates capacity to voltage, current, temperature, and age.

  • Not practical takes time to collect and test data

  • Does not require a cell model

Voltage Lookup

  • Accurate voltage measurements can be made while a cell is resting

  • The relation between capacity and voltage is non-linear. A typical model is shown below

...

  • Defining Q as the total capacity of the battery in Ah/mAh leaves us with the following equation sets of equations

...
