Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for measuring an internal resistance of a battery, after discharging/charging the battery under a preset constant-current, acquiring voltages of the battery within a period from ending the discharging/charging to a time when the voltage reaches stable, and then calculating different corresponding internal resistances caused by ohmic polarization, electrochemical polarization and concentration polarization separately. Since it is different for the orders of the magnitude of the characteristic time which these different polarizations need to get back into new equilibrium state after ending the discharging/charging, the method of the present disclosure classifies the internal resistances caused by these polarizations and calculated different internal resistances corresponding to the polarizations. Both the comparison with a result measured by other method and multiple embodiments in the application justify that the method in the present disclosure has high reliability and strong practicability.
