• SOC indicates a battery's remaining charge
relative to its maximum capacity and influences
charging and discharging profiles for optimal
battery use and safety.
• SOH measures a battery's current maximum
capacity against its original capacity, which is
important for understanding battery degradation
and optimizing battery lifespan, safety, and
performance.
• Accurate SOC and SOH measurements rely on
the precision of components like resistors and
capacitors, which must maintain tight tolerances
despite temperature changes or aging.
• Vishay aids customers in BMS design by providing
high-accuracy components essential for precise
SOC and SOH measurements.
