6 Frequently Asked Questions about “How to calculate battery parasitic current”
What is the purpose of a parasitic current test?
The purpose of this test is to evaluate the level of parasitic current draw from the battery during a vehicle's shutdown phase and sleep periods. View connection guidance notes. Connect PicoScope Channel A. across the battery terminals. Connect the low amp clamp to PicoScope Channel B select the 20 A scale and zero the clamp.
Do parasitic reactions affect the performance of lithium-ion batteries?
Cycling batteries to failure is time prohibitive and delays the analysis of data that is key to the development of new battery chemistries. One continuing challenge is determining the activity of parasitic reactions, which can significantly impact the performance and longevity of lithium-ion batteries.
How parasitic load affect battery charging?
Parasitic loads add to charging complexity. The presence of a continuous parasitic load on a battery complicates the charging process. It should be noted that most devices draw some parasitic load but the current is low and may consist of protection circuit for the Li-ion battery, memory back-up or running a clock.
How do I know if my battery is a parasitic drain?
The current draw will also vary depending on network and system activity. You can clearly see a reduction in current draw from the battery as the networks begin to sleep and the parasitic current draw from the battery as it settles at 40 mA for over 21 minutes (sleep mode). The target parasitic drain is < 80 mA and stable throughout.
How long does a parasitic drain current test take?
A parasitic drain current test can take place over many hours. The battery in your current clamp might run down so using a resistor to measure current, calculated using a PicoScope maths channel is a solution. This article builds on the Pico's Parasitic Drain Current Test.
Should a parasitic battery drain test be performed?
Parasitic battery drain testing is often overlooked but should conclude any customer complaints regarding non-starts as a result of a discharged battery. Traditionally, evaluating the battery and charging systems is very quick indeed, but parasitic drain demands an extended test.
