Closed Circuit Voltage
(incoming inspection test) |
- The open circuit voltage reading, no load applied, of a battery or pack can be misleading. A closed circuit voltage test, battery under load, is used to create a voltage drop in the battery. The amount of the voltage drop is a good indication as to the condition of the battery.
- Multiply the number of cells in the series pack by the load resistance. Multiply the number of cells in the pack by the “minimum voltage per cell to pass”.
Example: 4 E91 series battery pack
4 x 10 ohms = 40 ohm Load
4 X 1.4 volts = 5.6 minimum pack voltage to pass
