Perhaps this is true of some more recent test regimen he has adopted; what he described in the presentation I'm referring to was the use of high precision measurements of the coulombic efficiency to allow prediction of the lifetime based on measurements made over the course of days or weeks rather than months or years. Measuring the coulombic efficiency requires cycling the cell(s), as what one is interested in is how much of the energy delivered to the cell on each charge cycle is *not* recovered on the subsequent discharge. > I don't know about the AABC meeting.

The presentation I am referring to was the keynote address at the Large Lithium Ion Battery Technology and Application (LLIBTA) Symposium as part of the 2012 Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC). I expect that the organisers would be more than happy to sell you a copy of the LLIBTA 2012 proceedings: <https://www.advancedautobat.com/conferences/previous/AABC-2012/lithium-ion-battery-technology/extending-the-lifetime-of-Li-Ion-batteries-for-automotive-and-grid-energy-applications.html> Cheers, Roger. _______________________________________________ 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)
