Abstract

In this study, a test device is developed to measure the capacities and performances of high capacity battery banks and to detect broken cells. Through this test device, the instant capacity of the battery banks is measured. Based on the data obtained, both quantitative information about the health of the battery bank is provided and it is determined whether the battery bank will meet the need according to its intended use. In addition, battery banks can be divided into small groups and their measurements can be made so that broken cells can be detected.
