Matching Response Times of Lithium-Ion Cell Self-Discharge Current Measurements

Application Notes

Keysight’s self-discharge measurement (SDM) solutions (figure 1) measure and characterize selfdischarge performance of Li-Ion cells. Self discharge currents are recorded across a group of cells, with a typical measurement completing in as little as a few minutes. This compares favorably to the 1-2 weeks required by the widely-used alternative method of cell open circuit voltage (OCV) measurements.
