There are a number of key cell metrics that we expect to see on any cell specification sheet:
- Wh/kg = gravimetric energy density
- Wh/litre
- W/kg
- W/litre
- $/kWh
- Number of cycles at C/3 discharge and C/3 charge down to 80% SoH
- Safety
- Environmental impact assessment
- Normalised Heat Rate [W/Ah]
- Efficiency = discharge energy / charge energy – this is particularly important to grid storage applications
