Testing of the traction batteries in electric vehicles and their further use
In view to an expanding number of electric vehicles on the roads is also increasing demand for high quality batteries. These batteries suitable for the automotive industry (Lithium Iron Phosphate) offer great potential. In this article I will deal with properties that shorten the lifetime of these cells. And while their secondary use when installed in electric vehicles.
That batteries have a definite life is due to occurrence of the unwanted chemical or physical changes to, or the loss of, the active materials of which they are made. Otherwise they would last indefinitely. These changes are usually irreversible and they affect the electrical performance of the cell. This page describes the factors influencing battery life.
