Effects of storage on Li-ion batteries

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, composed of electrochemical cells, undergo calendar aging even when not in use. These degradation mechanisms must be carefully managed during storage to preserve battery health and safety. This post examines these phenomena and their implications for storage protocols. We propose optimized storage strategies that balance operational costs with battery preservation. We focus on the two most prevalent… Read More »Effects of storage on Li-ion batteries

Which data are available inside BMS ?

The BMS (Battery Management System) is the electronic system found inside battery packs and modules. What data is available in this equipment? Here, we will focus on the six vehicles that are statistically the most commonly found in repair or dismantling in France, due to their market launch date and production volume. Voltage, temperature, SOC (State of Charge), SOH (State… Read More »Which data are available inside BMS ?

Why Electric Car Batteries Outlast Vehicles, But Not in Trucks

As the electric vehicle (EV) industry continues to evolve, there is growing evidence that high-voltage battery packs in electric cars often outlast the vehicles themselves. According to research highlighted in Electrek, many EV batteries maintain a substantial portion of their original capacity, even after the car has reached the end of its functional life. This extended battery life is primarily… Read More »Why Electric Car Batteries Outlast Vehicles, But Not in Trucks
