🔋 Is Your Coulombic Efficiency Data Telling the Whole Story?

A Coulombic Efficiency (CE) above 100% doesn't mean your cell is giving back more charge than it took in. It's one of the most common signs of a small measurement error, and it can happen on any battery tester. At high CE values, even a tiny current offset matters. Depending on its direction, an offset can:

- Make charge capacity look lower or higher than it really is
- Do the opposite to discharge capacity
- Push the calculated CE above 100%, or hide real capacity loss by making it look too low
Three ways to keep your CE data reliable:
- Use the lowest current range that fits your test. The offset error is a fraction of the range's full scale, so a smaller range means a smaller error.
- Keep channels calibrated. Calibrate on schedule and after hardware changes, and check the results.
- Don't switch current ranges partway through a charge or discharge step.
🔎 Read the full Arbin application note to see how current offset affects CE, and how to get the most accurate efficiency data from your tests:

🔋 Run Cycling Tests Until Capacity Decreases to 80%

How can you automatically determine when a battery reaches 80% of its original capacity?

With Arbin’s advanced test scheduling capabilities, users can define a capacity-based termination condition to automatically continue cycling until the battery reaches the specified 80% capacity threshold.

This approach helps researchers:
• Evaluate battery cycle life and degradation
• Automate long-term cycling tests
• Identify End-of-Life (EOL) conditions
• Improve testing efficiency and consistency
