Low Temperature Test for Li-ion EV Battery
Lithium ion power batteries have been widely used in the field of electric vehicles due to their high voltage, high specific energy, and good cycling performance. 1 Test Taking a lithium-ion power battery with a rated capacity of 70Ah for electric vehicles as an example, a room temperature (20 ℃) capacity test and a low temperature (-20 ℃) capacity test were conducted to compare the impact of temperature on the capacity of lithium-ion batteries. The lithium-ion battery has a charging cut-off voltage of 36V and a discharge cut-off voltage of 2.0V. Then, discharge capacity tests are conducted in environments of 20 ℃ and -20 ℃, and the test is terminated when the discharge cut-off voltage is 2.0V. 2 Main factors affecting low-temperature capacity The low-temperature performance of lithium-ion batteries is mainly affected by the types of electrolytes, positive and negative electrode materials, etc. The low-temperature performance of lithium-ion batt...
