The secret of battery (Hp HSTNN-UB02 battery) quick testing lies, to a large extent, in understanding how the battery is being loaded. Battery loads vary from short current bursts for a mobile phone using the GSM protocol, to long and fluctuating loads on Hp DP390A battery laptops, and to intermittent heavy loads for power tools.

Because of these differences in loads, a battery for a digital mobile phone should be tested primarily for low impedance to assure a clean delivery of the current bursts, whereas a battery for a notebook should be examined mainly for the bulk in energy reserve. Ultra-low impedance is of less importance here. A battery for a power tool, on the other hand, needs both — low impedance and good power reserve.

Some quick testers simulate the equipment load and observe the voltage signature of the (Compaq PP2100 battery) under these conditions. The readings are compared with the reference settings, which are stored in the tester. The resulting discrepancies are calculated against the anticipated or ideal settings and displayed as the SoH readings.

The first step in obtaining quick test readings is measuring the battery’s internal resistance, often referred to as impedance. Internal resistance measurements take only a few seconds to complete and provide a reasonably accurate indication of the battery’s condition, especially if a reference reading from a good battery Compaq Presario X6000 battery is available for comparison.

Unfortunately, the impedance measurement alone provides only a rough sketch of the battery’s performance. The readings are affected by various battery conditions, which cannot always be controlled. For example, a fully charged Compaq Presario R3000 battery(Compaq r3000 battery) that has just been removed from the charger shows a higher impedance reading than one that has rested for a few?hours after charge. The elevated impedance is due to the increased interfacial resistance present after charging. Allowing the battery to rest for an?hour or two will normalize the battery. Temperature also affects the readings. In addition, the chemistry, the number of cells connected in series and the rating of a battery influence the results. Many batteries also contain a protection circuit that further distorts the readings.
