Run open circuit voltage (OCV) tests using the example VIs in the Battery Cell Quality Toolkit.

The following steps describe an overview of running OCV tests.

  1. Verify that the DMM is within the external calibration window to ensure the accuracy of measurements.
  2. Perform testing on batteries in a suitable fixture.
    Refer to Preparing the Facility for more information about suitable fixture designs.
  3. Configure the measurement circuit.
    1. Connect the battery cell to the DMM.
    2. Set up the measurement circuit.
    3. Use a reference electrode to ensure accurate measurement of the cell potential.
  4. Run the OCV test.
    Choose one of the following tests based on your test requirements. Use the provided API to complete your test.
