Abstract:
Provided are battery packs. Each pack may comprise a first plurality of strings electrically coupled to each other in parallel, each of the first plurality of strings providing substantially an output voltage and comprising: a first plurality of battery modules comprising: a plurality of high power battery cells, each of the plurality of high power battery cells having a higher power specification than a plurality of high energy battery cells; and a second plurality of strings electrically coupled to each other and to the first plurality of strings in parallel, each of the second plurality of strings providing substantially the output voltage and comprising: a second plurality of battery modules comprising: the plurality of high energy battery cells, each of the plurality of high power battery cells having a higher energy specification than the plurality of high power battery cells.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments are described that provide a method and computer readable media for testing battery cells. A unique identifier (e.g., barcode) is affixed to a battery cell which allows it to be tracked across separate tests as a cell, in a module, string, pack, etc. Using a GUI, the unique identifier is recorded in a database along with at least a battery cell manufacturer and a battery cell model. A designation of the particular tester channel or module or string location is entered into the database in association with the unique identifier. Test results of the first test are electronically transferred from the first tester to the database along with the corresponding channel designations.
