Set up and test of a LiFePO4 battery bank for electric vehicle

This paper deals with the set up and characterization tests of a lithium iron phosphate, LiFePO4, battery bank for an electric vehicle. he first charge and discharge, a simple system to monitor and ensure tight voltage limits and a LabVIEWŠ system to measure the voltages, currents and calculate the battery pack effective capacity and charge/discharge efficiency are presented. The efficiency and harmonic contents of the used chargers are measured. The installation of a commercial battery management system and its impact in previous results are also discussed.
