Auxiliary Voltage Measurement
Introduction The Arbin Auxiliary Voltage Input Module enables precise, high-resolution voltage monitoring for battery testing applications that require measurements beyond the standard I/V channels. Typical use cases include monitoring individual cell or module voltages within a larger pack, measuring reference electrodes in three-electrode cells, or comparing BMS data with directly […]
Auxiliary Temperature Measurement
Introduction Battery temperature measurement is essential for evaluating safety, longevity, and performance in modern testing environments. Arbin supports three primary sensor technologies—thermocouples (Type T and K), RTDs (PT100), and thermistors (10kΩ)—each available through dedicated auxiliary input modules. These sensors enable precise temperature control, monitoring, and safety logic throughout battery R&D […]
Constant-C-rate w.r.t. actual capacity, rather than constant current with Arbin cyclers
As we all know, the batteries’ capacity degrade by cycle of charge and discharge. If we set the charge and discharge current of a fixed value, such as 1A, 2A,… the length of each cycle will gradually decreases, simply because the battery’s capacity decreases: Cycle time = (Charge Capacity + […]
