Research and Development of Automated Battery Chargers/Analyzers

Abstract

The contract for Research and Development of Automated Battery Chargers/Analyzers was awarded to Neptune Sciences, Inc. to develop advanced battery charging and non-invasive real-time battery diagnostic/analysis techniques. To complete this project Neptune Sciences, Inc. used its considerable in-house expertise in hardware and software development as well as in data collection and analysis. Where additional expertise was required, consultants from industry and academia were retained. Throughout this project, special effort was made to use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware whenever possible. The goal was to find a better way to determine the state of charge of various types of batteries and create a database for each type and capacity of battery tested. This database could be integrated into a smart charger/analyzer that could determine the remaining life of primary batteries and test secondary batteries and charge them using the most efficient means possible.
