Industrial engineers and researchers from governmental and academic labs often devise their own procedures for characterizing lithium-ion batteries based on the battery technology’s intended application. According to an international team of researchers (UK, USA – University of Hawaii, Argonne National Laboratory) the appropriateness of a test depends on what the investigator is studying. Their comprehensive review analyses and discusses the various international standards and regulations characterisation and electrical testing of lithium-ion cells, specifically for high-power automotive and grid applications. They produced an easy-to-use table comparing eight test methods, including the main equipment needed, the information generated, and the advantages and drawbacks for each…read more.
