Abstract
Testing of the second generation of Advanced Technology Development Program lithium-ion cells (i.e., Gen 2 cells) is nearing completion. The 18650-size Gen 2 cells consist of a baseline and variant chemistry. These cells are aged using standardized calendar- and cycle-life tests at 60% state-of-charge and various temperature conditions. Calendar-life testing consists of a pulse-per-day with a voltage clamp during the remaining 24-hour period, whereas cycle-life testing consists of continuous pulsing. At periodic intervals, life testing is interrupted for reference performance tests, which are used to gauge degradation in capacity, resistance, and power over time. Reference performance tests consist of a C 1/l and C 1/25 static capacity test, a low-current hybrid pulse power characterization test, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Capacity-, power-, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy-based performance results are presented.
