Sources of Error with the Coulomb Counting Method

SoC definition for Samsung SDI 94Ah cell

It is really important to understand the sources of error with the coulomb counting method as this forms the backbone for most SOC estimation algorithms. SoC Estimation by Coulomb Counting is based on the measurement of the current and integration of that current over time. There are five main sources of error with the coulomb … Read more

SoC Estimation by Coulomb Counting

SoC definition

SoC Estimation by Coulomb Counting is based on the measurement of the current and integration of that current over time. The State of Charge (SoC) of a battery cell is required to maintain it’s safe operation and lifetime during charge, discharge and storage. However, SoC cannot be measured directly and is estimated from other measurements and known … Read more
