If the SoH C falls below a value of 70 to 80 %, the battery has reached the End Of Life (EOL) for automotive applications, but can still be used as stationary storage. How fast and how much the battery ages depends on many factors. The cell, its design and materials are the main causes of aging.
For power-sensitive applications, the key focus is likely to be around minimising performance variability throughout a battery’s life. This would potentially minimise weight and cost by eliminating the need to carry excess capability at the beginning of the battery’s life.
Battery degradation occurs due to ageing mechanisms in its components and increases in internal resistance. It is collectively under-pinned by irreversible chemical and structural changes in battery components. Capacity fade is a gradual decrease in the amount of charge a battery can hold and occurs with repeated use as the battery ages.
For energy-focused applications, knowledge of degradation will benefit EV owners by reducing warranty costs and minimising degradation performance and range losses over their car’s lifetime. Conidence in the state-of-health of the battery will also improve residual values, reducing the total cost of ownership.
Among all abuse conditions, overcharging is probably the most serious, as excessive energy is added to the battery. Overcharging could be caused by inconsistent lithium batteries in an energy storage system, faulty battery chargers, incorrect voltage and current measurements, or inaccurate SOC estimation of the battery management system.
Over the lifetime of a battery, a variety of aging mechanisms affect the performance of the system. Cyclic and calendar aging of the battery cells become noticeable as a loss of capacity and an increase in internal resistance.
