Test Temperature:
•
Room temperature 23
o
C ±2
o
C.
Test Current:
•
1C constant current value for charge and discharge.
Test Process:
Step 1: Rest (open circuit)
•
Record test time, test current and test voltage at the start of the test (t1, I1, V1).
Step 2: Charge
•
Charge device to its rated voltage at specified current.
•
Record test time, test current and test voltage at the end of the test (t2, I2, V2).
Step 3: Rest (open circuit)
•
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 rest (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 Module to its maximum voltage.
