Bob Zollo

This tutorial presentation is for engineers who are selecting and applying cells when developing battery-powered electronic products and systems. By understanding the definition and measurement challenges of the key battery cell parameters, engineers will be able to make better choices for which kinds of batteries to use by understanding the meaning behind each cell parameters and how they may impact their device design. The properly measurement of parameter and interpretation of results are covered including Open Circuit Voltage, Self-Discharge, AC Internal Resistance, DC Internal Resistance, and Capacity.
