MEASUREMENTS OF QUANTITIES WHICH CHANGE IN BATTERY PERFORMANCE AND ANALYSIS.

Abstract : This report results from a survey of battery literature from the viewpoint of the techniques used to make measurements and to acquire data. An examination of the techniques reported has led to recommendations for more complete reporting of the experimental and instrumental details. The report also presents recommendations for the development of needed specific passivation studies, current pulse relationships to the state of charge, direct measurement of power, electrode surface analysis, and a coulometric internal short test.
