Default Battery Communcation Utility Project

Hi,

Here are one of the first results of my project:

Intending to measure cells inside battery pack before to open the casing.

Be back with updates.
Felix.

Yeah, link doesn't work. I think it goes to his account's video edit page.

I have chargers that monitor each battery cell in an electric model but they are only two to six cells. Each cell has its own wires to a separate plug the charger can connect to for monitoring. So, the battery pack has a power plug and a monitor/balancing plug. The dozens of cells in a Segway do not have that kind of wiring so I wonder how they can check individual cells without a voltmeter put on each one (case opened).

I would guess he can't monitor individual cells either - Probably only the 23 groups of 4 cells in parallel

here is new link:
https://youtu.be/-oevROzBgAg

of course not each cell, but 23 groups,
(23 raw values, scaled , but for the moment not offseted, working on it...).
and:
-average temperature
-four temperature sensors,
-state of charge bar graph,
-chemistry and Rev.XX,
-statuses registers, and so on...



Be back with updates!

We have software that does this as well along with many other functions. It looks like your doing a great job so far!

Hiello MTO,

Is only a beginning, I'm working on it, now i have implemented a touchscreen TFT display, the 20x4 was very poor for this application.
Basically is about challenge an ambition to do that, but on the other side i really need this tool in my workshop. Will implement charge/discharge function to integrate the current and calculate the real capacity of the battery, useful function when i have to sort the best or weakest batteries from a lot.
be back soon!

New TFT Display implemented.
Next is the menu and a nice look, good page arrangement and alignment.
Most of the parameters are ready calculated and good to be displayed.
Cheers!

Nice display.

Take a look at the old Cellpro 4s lithium battery chargers FMA used to make (might still). It is just a circuit board with standoffs that hold a metal face plate/display with heavy clear shrink wrap around the whole assembly.

A nice sticker covered the face plate so it looked professional. No case needed (shrink wrap is the case) and easy access to the mode switch and cable connectors. I think that is how they made them when they were a start up.
