The invention discloses a test method for sensitively and quickly characterizing the
direct current internal resistance difference of a
battery cell, which comprises the following steps: taking a full-charge state as a first extreme state, taking a non-charge state as a second extreme state, setting an
intermediate state between the first extreme state and the second extreme state, and gradually reducing the charge quantity in the
intermediate state; at the set test temperature, the battery in the first extreme state is discharged at a first
discharge rate, and switching from the first extreme state to the
intermediate state, from the current intermediate state to the next intermediate state and from the intermediate state to the second extreme state is realized by discharging at a second
discharge rate; discharging each battery in the intermediate state at a third
discharge rate, and standing after discharging; the discharged battery is charged back to the original intermediate state by using the first charging rate, the first charging rate is the same as the third discharging rate, and the third discharging rate is larger than the second discharging rate and smaller than the first discharging rate; the battery in the second extreme state is charged with a second
charge rate, the second
charge rate being the same as the first
discharge rate. According to the invention, the two extreme states are tested by using high multiplying power, the
middle state is subjected to charging and discharging test by using low multiplying power, and due to the reduction of the
middle state and the use of different multiplying power, the whole test time is greatly shortened, the cost is reduced, the difference between the battery cells can be more sensitively represented, and the test method is simple and easy to implement. The method can be used for conventional ORT tests.
