Abstract
This research aims to investigate the adaptability of a measurement system or a process in determining the parameters of batteries. Methods are suggested for different applications, and properties gained by these measurements are specified. Deformations of lithium polymer batteries measured by various methodologies are also analyzed in detail. Changes in the geometry of worn-out batteries and the localization of the changes can be better understood by applying the results. The GOM ATOS and the GOM ARAMIS systems were applied to characterize lithium polymer batteries. Discontinuous tests were performed and the battery was discharged to 0 V and then fully charged for both methods. The advantages and disadvantages and the applicability of the two measurement systems were analyzed in this topic.
