Battery systems and electric motors are two fundamental building blocks of electric mobility and electromechanical technology. The EMobility Expert 2: Battery & DC Motor Training Kit brings these topics together in a hands-on system that helps students connect electrical energy storage with motor operation and performance.
Students begin by exploring different battery chemistries and fundamental electrical concepts, including series and parallel cell configurations, internal resistance, battery capacity, charging, and discharge behavior. By generating and comparing discharge curves, learners can investigate how battery characteristics influence the way electrical energy is stored and delivered.
The system then introduces DC motor technology through investigations of shunt-wound, series-wound, and universal motors. Students examine motor characteristics, compare shunt and series configurations, and develop an understanding of how motor design influences operating behavior. Together, these activities provide a practical foundation for additional study in electric mobility, electrical engineering, motors, and drive technology.
