Side reaction rates increase with temperature, but that is only part of the story. The rates are even more dependent on cell voltage, and Dahn mentions this: *• The biggest factor is time spent at highest voltage. o Longer is worse o Most of the parasitic reactions happen

Thanks Tomw, That was a nice video. I didn't hear any contradictions. I learned somethings about cell construction I did not know. Dahn was lecturing to explain HPC testing, and Whitacre was lecturing to help people who assemble and manage packs, so they have a little different slant.

Why is it you think I am making this up? I have no reason to do anything, but report what has been found using the new testing. I just read the papers, talked to the people, and watched that video enough to follow it. Automotive product validation is pretty rigorous. Apparently, they did it

I doubt that EnerDel and its customers have overlooked anything as basic as performance and life at ambient temperatures. It appears to me that Hoegberg is comparing to some float stand-by application and then misinterpreting the presented data.  But whatever.  They have millions of cells in
