Development of the Condition Monitoring System for Battery in Automobiles

As the electric and hybrid vehicles is becoming increasingly prevalent, the efficiency and reliability of their battery systems are critical factors in their performance and longevity. The battery is one of most critical component of vehicle, this paper presents the development of a condition monitoring system for batteries in automobiles. Using the proposed system, the current state of battery is analyzed from the degradation in its efficiency in compare to its pristine state. Therefore, the developed system will aid in increasing the condition based replacement of battery in order to improve the reliability and serviceability of vehicle. Furthermore, the same set-up can also be used to benchmark the quality of batteries provided by different manufacturers.
