OCV measurement

In the lithium battery production process, OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) measurement is a key quality control step. The following is a detailed description of the OCV measurement:

Definition and importance of OCV measurement

OCV refers to the potential difference between the positive and negative electrodes of the battery under no load conditions, that is, the voltage value when the battery reaches chemical equilibrium after standing for a period of time. OCV measurement is critical for evaluating battery performance, monitoring battery status, and battery management systems (BMS) because it is directly related to the State of Charge (SOC) and State of health (SOH) of the battery.

Timing of OCV measurement

OCV measurement is usually carried out at each step after the cell is first charged, especially in the aging test, where the OCV is regularly measured and the amount of change is checked. Because the amount of change in OCV value caused by self-discharge is small, it takes at least 100 to 400 hours for the aging test to detect defects.

Method of OCV measurement

Ensure no current flow: Before measuring OCV, ensure that the battery is not connected to any load and that the charging and discharging process has stopped.

Wait for voltage stability: After the battery transitions from the charge and discharge state to the open state, wait for a period of time to ensure voltage stability.

Use high-precision measuring equipment: Use high-precision voltage measuring equipment, such as a digital multimeter or a dedicated battery tester.

Temperature compensation: Since the temperature has an effect on the OCV, the measurement results need to be temperature compensated.

Periodic calibration: Regular calibration of measuring equipment and BMS to ensure long-term measurement accuracy.

Key parameters of OCV measurement

Temperature: Temperature is one of the important factors affecting the OCV of lithium battery cells. At different temperatures, the chemical reaction rate will change, which will affect the OCV value.

SOC Range: Due to the nonlinear relationship between OCV and SOC, OCV testing at different SOC values is required to determine an accurate OCV-SOC curve.

Open circuit time: Different lithium battery cells differ in the resting time. Through OCV testing of different cells and analyzing the relationship between the open time and OCV, the influence of open time on the stability of OCV can be obtained.

The significance of OCV measurement

Through OCV measurement, you can initially assess the health of the battery, the state of charge and discharge, and the remaining capacity of the battery. This is essential for battery use and maintenance. In addition, the monitoring of the OCV is essential for the overcharge and overdischarge protection of the battery, and the BMS can use the OCV threshold to prevent the battery from being overcharged or underdischarged.

CONCLUSION

In summary, OCV measurement is an important link in the production and inspection of lithium batteries, which provides key data for battery performance evaluation, condition monitoring and safety management.
