Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus for non-destructive-type diagnosis of a degree of degradation of a battery. The apparatus includes: a chamber inside which a battery subject to inspection is arranged; a charging and discharging unit connected to a lead portion of the battery and charging or discharging the battery; a thermoelectric element module thermally connected to the battery and generating an electromotive force caused by heat generated by charging and discharging the battery; a first measurement unit measuring the electromotive force generated by the thermoelectric element module; a second measurement unit measuring a change in impedance due to the charging and discharging of the battery; and a determination unit comparing data on the electromotive force of the battery, measured by the first measurement unit, and data on the impedance of the battery, measured by the second measurement unit, with pre-prepared comparative data and determining a degree of degradation of the battery.
