Abstract

We present an experimental project aimed at understanding how batteries work by analyzing discharge curves for a secondary battery. Our proposed experiment uses simple electronic components and takes advantage of the outstanding features provided by the commercial software LabVIEW in order to acquire, plot and save data on a disk in conjunction with an analog-digital board and a personal computer. We report discharge curves ($E$ vs $t)$, power, charge stored and energy delivered by a commercial secondary Ni-Cd battery as a function of time, using two different discharging methods: constant-load resistance and constant-current.
