Devon Crawford | DIY Battery Capacity Testing Robot | Part One (Arduino) @DevonCrawford | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 21 seconds ago
As you may know I have a few hundred 18650 cells. In order to use them I need to know the capacity to determine which cells are good/bad. So I decided to build this automated robot to discharge a stack of batteries at a constant current, timing it and performing calculations on Arduino to store data in an array. This is the first part of this build, where I salvage through 20 year old computer DVD drives for stepper motors to use as linear actuators. The next part will involve me connecting two of these motors together and creating the structure (out of cardboard) to hold the batteries. As well as programming the Arduino further to calculate the capacity. Hopefully the "robot" will be fully functional in the next video to this project.
