Battery Testing

Purpose: The purpose of Advance R&D is to further research topics that will help achieve your company’s goals. For the first week of Advance R&D the group decided to research the AEV’s battery and its efficiency.

The group decided to do battery test because efficiency was one of the groups major goal in this project. By studying the battery, we could see how efficient the AEV run after some voltage has been used (distance/run).

While the graph does show multiple runs, couldn’t really use the data because it overlaid each other and hard to analysis. A could runs didn’t match the data that was gather from the other runs. If we could analysis the data then it should tell us theoretically tell us about how much energy was used and how far the AEV has traveled. Using this data then we could see do we want to replace the AEV battery after a couple of run to get a more consistent run and more accurate representative energy usage during a normal track run.
