An apparatus and method make use of a single shunt and two or more instrumentation amplifiers, switchably measuring voltages at the shunt. This permits current measurement. At times each instrumentation amplifier has its input shorted, which permits zeroing out many sources of offset in the signal path of that amplifier. Dynamic range is several orders of magnitude better than known current measurement approaches, permitting coulometry.

A method and system are provided for estimating state of charge of a cell having a positive electrode, for example of a lithium phosphate type, the charge profile of which includes a range of state of charge between about 30 and about 90% in which variation of voltage is 10 times less rapid than for a state of charge higher than 90%. Determination of state of charge for a state of charge greater than 90% is based on either the use of a calibration relationship between cell voltage and state of charge when a current is passing through the cell that is less than a predetermined threshold value and its voltage has stabilized, or on the use of coulometry the result of which is corrected taking into account the accuracy of the current sensor.

The invention provides a method for testing trace moisture in dimethyl sulfoxide. Prepared ethanol water is divided into two parts; a first part of the ethanol water is used for preparing a uniform transparent mixed system of dimethyl sulfoxide, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, the ethanol water and a Karl Fischer's reagent; and a second part of the ethanol water is used for comparison of moisture content with the uniform transparent mixed system of dimethyl sulfoxide, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, the ethanol water and the Karl Fischer's reagent. In the system where dimethyl sulfoxide and the Karl Fischer's reagent coexist, dimethyl sulfoxide has the capability of oxidizing I<-> ions and is reduced to be dimethyl thioether. According to the invention, since hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the Karl Fischer's reagent containing dimethyl sulfoxide is pre-oxidized by dimethyl sulfoxide, it is guaranteed that the I<-> ions are completely converted into I2 through an electrode, testing results are real, reliable and stable, and deficiency in testing of trace moisture in a dimethyl sulfoxide solution by using Karl Fischer coulometry is overcome.
