5 seconds.
•
Record test time, test current, and test voltage at the end of the rest (t3, I3, V3).
Step 4: Rest (open circuit)
•
10 seconds
•
Record test time, test current and test voltage at the start of the test (t4, I4, V4).
Step 5: Discharge
•
Discharge device to one-half its rated voltage at its specified current.
•
Record test time, test current and test voltage at the end of the rest (t5, I5, V5).
Step 6: Rest (open circuit)
•
5 seconds.
•
Record test time, test current, and test voltage at the end of the rest (t6, I6, V6).
It is recommended to do at least 5 tests and average over these tests.

Test Method for Self-Discharge:
The self-discharge method is designed to see the natural decay of the Module
’s
total voltage over time
after it is fully charged. The result will be influenced by the temperature, the voltage at which the
device is charged and the aging condition.
The following steps describe the process for measuring self-discharge.
Step 1:
•
Charge the battery to its maximum voltage.
•
Record the voltage (Vmax).
Step2:
•
Leave the battery idle for a period of 1 month.
•
Record the open circuit voltage after 1 month (Voc).
Step 3:
•
Self-discharge (%) =
[
Vmax−Voc
Voc
] × 100

FAQs:
Q. How to determine the current status (charging/discharging)?
A. When the current value on the LCD is negative it means the Module is discharging and when it is
positive, it means the Module is charging.
Q. The current reading on the LCD is not accurate for the first charging/discharging Session?
A. The user should wait for 5 minutes after starting the Module for the first charge/discharge session
