Method for Monitoring and Analyzing Lead-Acid Batteries

Sammanfattning: Lead-acid batteries today are commonly used in the automotive industry with a considerable span of purposes, yet historically, a primary purpose of cranking the engine at ignition which does demand a high current drainage from a battery. These high drainages later result in a health implication which can be hard to detect without the proper tools and this thesis focuses on the development of those tools.To insure the health of a battery turns out to be a handy feature for most drivers today and early signs of deterioration may even warn a user in advance of damage or failure to insure that proper care is taken with a goal to extend every battery’s lifespan.The results of this thesis demonstrates great accuracy for the tools necessary for an accurate health estimation yet lacks extensive testing data to clearly verify an actual health estimation. Where the chapter of Further Work includes specific tests, error corrections and examples of how to achieve even greater accuracies.
