Battery (Rechargeable) | Application

A battery is something that stores electrical energy. There are two types of batteries: rechargeable batteries and non-rechargeable batteries.

Rechargeable batteries include lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride, lithium-ion, and all-solid-state batteries. Most batteries store charge through electrochemical action. Therefore, misuse such as over-charging, over-discharging, short-circuiting, or physical damage can lead to ignition or explosion.

For more battery information, please refer to the following pages.

Matsusada Precision manufactures and sells charge/discharge power supplies (battery cycle testers) that test the quality of batteries by repeatedly charging and discharging them, as well as power supplies and electronic loads used in the battery manufacturing process.

Battery Abbreviations:

SOC: State Of Charge, which indicates the battery's remaining capacity and state of charge.　Unit is "%."
SOH: State of Health, indicates the state of battery degradation.　It represents the ratio of the initial to the fully charged capacity at the time of battery degradation, with the initial being 100%.
C rate: This criterion is related to charging and discharging speed.　1C represents the current at which a battery is used from full charge to cut off voltage (end of discharge voltage) in one hour.
LIB: Lithium-ion battery
Ni-MH: Nickel-metal hydride battery
BMS: Battery Management System, which is a system for safely charging/discharging lithium-ion batteries, etc.
BMU: Battery Management Unit, which safely charges/discharges lithium-ion batteries, etc.
BMC: Battery Management Controller, which is a controller for safely charging/discharging lithium-ion batteries, etc.
CMU: Cell Management Unit, which safely charges/discharges and manages single cells such as lithium-ion batteries.
CMC: Cell Management Controller, which safely charges/discharges and manages single cells of lithium-ion batteries.
MMC: Module Management Controller, which is a controller for managing the charge/discharge of battery modules.
