In the two papers I have by these men they are using LiFEPO4 cells.If you want a copy let me know. The latest is dated October 2015 Here is the abstract. ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of elevated temperature on commercially available high power graphite/LiFePO4 cells using a temperature dependent, electrolyte enhanced, single particle model (ESPM-T) coupled with a Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) layer growth aging model. The ESPM-T is capable of simulating up to 25C and 10 sec charge-discharge pulses within a 35- 65% SOC window and 25oC to 40oC temperature range with less than 1% voltage error, so it is suitable for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications. The aging model is experimentally validated with an aggressive HEV cycle running for 4 months with less than 1% error. Instead of defining battery End of Life (EOL) as an arbitrary percent of capacity loss, we use the cycle number when the battery voltage hits 3.6V/2V (maximum/minimum) voltage limits. This is the practical limit of operation without reduced performance. Simulations show that operating cells at 35oC increases their life by 45% compared to room temperature operation. If the cell temperature is increased stepwise, then battery life is increased 85% more with a 50oC cell temperature at EOL. Battery initial size can be reduced by 24% using this temperature set-point strategy.

Impossible to tell from the article if this "formula" explains much of anything. It may simply describe behaviour in terms of some external variables such as temperature and current as the article seems to indicate. This could be based on a fit to data on a particular chemistry, or they may have derived it from more basic principles. In the former case it would not say anything about the molecular mechanisms that give rise to such effects, and would only be fairly predictive of performance for the cell chemistry data to which it was fit. Different additives would give different results, and it would have no power in predicting these. Would be nice to know how the equations were derived. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/A-math-formula-can-model-li-ion-pack-aging-Pyrite-pack-tp4678722p4678762.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
