Battery Communcation Utility Project
Hi,
Here are one of the first results of my project: https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=-oevROzBgAg 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! Last edited by felix_fetche; 05-04-2017 at 03:53 AM.. Reason: update |

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.
