Abstract
The use of battery-powered devices is restricted to the energy available in the battery. Therefore, it is important to have comprehensive mathematical models that can predict the state of charge of a battery. In order to develop and especially validate these models, real data regarding long duration tests of these batteries are needed. In this paper, the development of a battery testing platform (i.e., Testbed ) is presented, as well as a methodology for perform long duration controlled tests in order to automate the charging and discharging process. The platform and methodology are validated through a series of tests with Li-Po batteries. The results of these tests are presented and analyzed and it is possible to verify the efficiency of both the Testbed and the methodology presented for the development and analysis of tests using Li-Po batteries.
