from chemistry to pack
There are a number of temperature limits of a battery cell, some harder limits than others. It is worth understanding these in general before looking at a specific cell. These temperatures will change with chemistry and by cell manufacturer, therefore, it is really important to use the limits as advised by the manufacturer. In addition … Read more
Comparing power versus energy cells we see there are some fundamental differences. A high energy cell will have better volumetric and gravimetric energy density at the expense of the ability to deliver a high current. The power cell will have a low internal resistance and will be optimised to deliver current over energy density. Teardown … Read more
If we want a battery cell to last a lot of cycles, extend the life in a power application or to ensure the available power is consistent then we need to set a usable SoC window that is smaller than 100%. That is we will limit the top end charge to perhaps 95% SoC and … Read more
The battery capacity is the current capacity of the battery and is expressed in Ampere-hours, abbreviated Ah. Battery capacity is expressed in ampere-hours. Battery capacity is effected by: Under well defined conditions this is often referred to as the Rated Capacity as the battery capacity is likely to be different under different temperature, discharge rates … Read more
