Tiivistelmä
The aim of this thesis is to theoretically design an automatic ‘in house’ battery testing facility for further construction and implementation in the Technobotnia laboratory (Vaasa).
Theoretical information about the battery world is provided and explained, including the definition of battery, the battery operation, the main parameters and characteristics, and the different types of batteries that are available in the market and the ones that will be in the future. The theoretical introduction and explanation of battery principles lead to the project development which contains basic information to consider for the design of the hardware, and the design itself. A constant voltage battery charger system is proposed, which is designed to charge all types of batteries with its respective scheme and calculations. The concept will automatically disconnect when the battery is full.
In addition, the project development analyzes the different methods for calculating the state of charge of a battery which is essential to inform the user, to increase the life of batteries or to be able to perform a controlled shutdown of the device and to avoid possible loss of information or damage to the batteries. Special attention is placed on Peukert’s law since its implication in the State of Charge of batteries is crucial to compare the theoretical and practical development and calculation of the battery charger intended to be built.
