Depending on the application, power and energy requirements may differ significantly and, most likely, a single lithium-ion cell will not suffice. Battery packs offer cell interconnections that allow to obtain several ...

Many are the applications that use energy stored in lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries to power themselves. Without a doubt this type of energy storage device has changed the way of living. However, a major concern regarding ...

Lithium-ion batteries have enabled electric vehicles to achieve a foothold in the automobile market. Due to an increasing environmental consciousness, electric vehicles are expected to take a larger portion of the market, ...

Starting from the observation that the reduced state of a system strongly coupled to a bath is, in general, an athermal state, we introduce and study a cyclic battery-charger quantum device that is in thermal equilibrium, ...

This paper presents details on the development of two mathematical models of lithium polymers batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs). These models describe the battery state of charge (SOC), and the output voltage of ...

This article proposes a Similarity-Based-Modeling (SBM) approach capable of characterizing the degradation process of a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery when discharged under different current rates and different State-of-Charge ...
