Automotive Batteries
Automotive batteries, also known as car batteries or vehicle batteries, are essential components in vehicles that provide electrical power to start the engine and power various electrical systems and accessories. These batteries are rechargeable and store electrical energy in the form of chemical energy, which is converted to electrical energy when needed to operate the vehicle.
Scopes & Testing
Automotive Batteries
Testing of automotive batteries involves various evaluations to assess their performance, capacity, and reliability. Here are some common tests conducted on automotive batteries:
- 1) Capacity Testing: Measures the battery's capacity to hold a charge and deliver electrical power over time.
- 2) CCA Testing: Determines the battery's ability to deliver sufficient power to start the engine in cold temperatures.
- 3) Reserve Capacity Testing: Evaluates the duration the battery can power essential vehicle functions without charging.
- 4) Load Testing: Simulates real-world conditions by applying a load to the battery to check its voltage and capacity under stress.
- 5) Charging Efficiency: Assesses how well the battery accepts and retains a charge from the vehicle's alternator.
- 6) Internal Resistance: Measures the resistance inside the battery to determine its overall health and efficiency.
- 7) Battery Life Cycle Testing: Evaluates the battery's durability and performance over multiple charge and discharge cycles.
- 8) Vibration and Shock Testing: Ensures the battery can withstand the rigors of vehicle usage, including vibrations and shocks.
- 9) Leakage and Sealing: Checks the battery casing for leaks and ensures proper sealing to prevent electrolyte leakage.
- 10) Environmental Testing: Tests the battery's performance and safety under extreme temperature conditions.
