Capacity
defin­i­tion
The nominal capacity origi­nates from the manufac­tur­er’s data sheet, if avail­able. When the data sheet is unavail­able, the nominal capacity is estimated. Batemo measured the C/10 capacity by discharging the cell at an ambient temper­a­ture of 25°C from 100% with a constant current of 0.26A (0.1C) until reaching the voltage of 2.8V. The thermal boundary condi­tion is free convection.

C/10 2.67 Ah
Current
defin­i­tion
All quanti­ties are measure­ment results from the Batemo battery labora­tory.
The contin­uous current is the highest current that completely discharges the cell without overheating it. There­fore, the cell is discharged from 100% state of charge (SOC) at an ambient temper­a­ture of 25°C with a constant current until a residual state of charge of 10% and either the lower voltage limit of 2.8V or 90% of the maximum surface temper­a­ture (54°C) is reached.
The peak current is the current that the cell can supply for 5 minutes. The cell is there­fore discharged from 100% SOC at an ambient temper­a­ture of 25°C with a constant current until it reaches either the lower voltage limit of 2.8V or the maximum surface temper­a­ture of 60°C after 5 minutes. For cells that reach the maximum surface temper­a­ture, the measured current is taken directly as the peak current. For cells that do not reach the maximum surface temper­a­ture after 5 minutes because they reach the lower voltage limit first, the measured current is multi­plied by a correc­tion factor that estimates the current that would have heated the cell to the maximum surface temper­a­ture within 5 minutes.
The thermal boundary condi­tion is free convec­tion. These operating conditions may be outside the cell manufacturer’s specification.

  • Discharge Charac­ter­is­tics: The electrical and thermal discharge behavior is strongly nonlinear.
  • Pulse Charac­ter­is­tics: The shape of different current pulses changes strongly.
  • Energy Charac­ter­is­tics: The graph visual­izes how much energy the cell can deliver when operated at different powers.
  • Power Charac­ter­is­tics: The more power the cell supplies, the shorter it can deliver the power.
  • Thermal Charac­ter­is­tics: The greater the thermal losses, the more the cell heats up, resulting in higher depleted power.
