Battery Consistency Screening (Abnormal Battery Screening).
Traditional Battery Sorting Method
lEST's Innovative Battery Sorting Method
Using EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) for refined screening of batteries ensures charge-discharge consistency across all individual cells within a battery module.
SOH Rapid Estimation (Cascade Utilization).
Traditional battery grading and cascade utilization:
- A batch of recycled batteries
- Charge and discharge the batteries
- Grouping and tiered utilization based on capacity
Three Major Disadvantages:
- Long grading time
- High power consumption
- Many channels occupied
IEST’s Rapid Grading Solution:
- A batch of recycled batteries
- Perform ElS test on the batteries
- According to the correlation model between ElS and capacity, conduct rapid capacity division
Major Advantages:
As the battery health (SOH) decreases, its EIS test results will also change accordingly.
SOH Estimation Accuracy<5% (Big Data Modeling Required)
Battery Cell Failure Analysis (Production Problem Troubleshooting).
Distribution of Relaxation Times (DRT) analysis is a mathematical method for interpreting EIS spectra. Unlike conventional equivalent circuit fitting, DRT analysis can avoid issues such as:
- The fitting model’s dependence on initial values;
- Distortion of the fitting results;
- The fact that while different models can be fitted, their mechanistic interpretations are inconsistent.
- Contact Impedance Rs: The total sum of all electronic resistances within the battery, which is associated with various issues.
- Contact Impedance Rc ⇔ Area 1: Problems such as poorly welded tabs and inadequate contact.
- SEI Film Impedance RSEI ⇔ Area 2: Issues including improper formation and electrode creasing or wrinkling.
- Charge Transfer Impedance Rct ⇔ Area 3: Problems related to poor interfacial kinetics and lithium plating.
- Ionic Diffusion Impedance Rdiff ⇔ Area 4: Issues such as insufficient electrode compression and inadequate electrolyte wetting.
