Exploring the Discharge Performance of Li-ion Batteries Using Ohmic Drop Compensation

In this study, we investigate the use of the ohmic drop compensation method during battery discharges at different rates. Four different types of NMC Li-ion batteries are compared and three 18,650 cells of each type are tested to evaluate the performance dispersion. The cell type that shows signific...

Description
Summary:In this study, we investigate the use of the ohmic drop compensation method during battery discharges at different rates. Four different types of NMC Li-ion batteries are compared and three 18,650 cells of each type are tested to evaluate the performance dispersion. The cell type that shows significant performance improvement thanks to ohmic drop compensation in this first experimental part is then selected to complete the exploration. A drone-type usage profile is set up and demonstrates without any doubt the interest of using this type of protocol in such usage. Finally, a preliminary aging study is also performed on this type of cells: ohmic drop compensation use has no effect on low-power performance decrease during aging and has a moderate impact on high-power performances.
