The recommended method is to test each cell/unit in the battery bank with the Eagle Eye IBEX battery tester. The IBEX uses the same measurement technology as the BQMS, so it is the only other method to determine measure the resistance. It is recommended to measure all the cells/units in the battery bank with the IBEX and download the data into an easy to read report. - Page 50 BQMS Installation Manual 052319 2. Determine the BQMS version number by clicking the BQMS v2.1 tab then clicking ‘OK’ next to Version. 3. Open the Resistance Compensation tab. a. For BQMS v2.1, click Module Measurement to perform a complete measurement of all the batteries (note, this may take up to 2 min and results will populate out of order).
- Page 51 BQMS Installation Manual 052319 5. Re-run the measurement of all the cells by clicking Odd Module Measurement and Even Module Measurement. When the measurement is complete the compensated resistance value will appear under the R column. Note that internal resistance values change slightly with each measurement, so it is possible the new measured value will not be exactly the old value minus the compensation value.
