A diagnosis method for SOH of batteries includes the steps of: providing
data of discharge voltages and currents of a battery unit; setting an
acceptable value of a predetermined period of time and an acceptable
range of variation rate of discharge current for the battery unit;
calculating variation rates of discharge voltages and currents of the
battery unit within the predetermined period of time by using the data of
discharge voltages and currents; recording the data of discharge voltages
and currents of the batteries and variation rates thereof; comparing the
data of discharge voltages of the batteries and the variation rates
thereof if the variation rates of discharge current are fallen within the
acceptable range of current variation with selected reference data; and
converting results of compared data of discharge voltages of the battery
unit and the variation rates thereof into a SOH index.
