Power battery technology is facing multiple challenges NEWARE

Complexity and factors affecting SOC estimation of Lithium-Ion Batteries

The behavior of lithium-ion batteries is not a simple linear relationship; the relationship between their voltage, capacity, and other parameters and the state of charge (SOC) of the battery varies with time and usage conditions. This nonlinear characteristic complicates battery modeling and accurate estimation of SOC.
Li-ion battery SOC is affected by temperature, charge and discharge rates, and battery aging state.
Temperature: the temperature of the battery affects its chemical reaction rate and conductivity, which in turn affects the charging and discharging performance of the battery and SOC estimation.
Charge/discharge rate: Different charge/discharge rates will affect the polarization phenomenon of the battery, and a high charge/discharge rate may lead to a change in the relationship between battery voltage and SOC. Battery aging state: with the increase of usage time, the capacity of the battery will gradually decay and the internal resistance will increase, these aging effects will affect the estimation of SOC.
In order to accurately estimate the SOC, it is necessary to monitor the temperature, charge/discharge rate and aging state of the battery in real time and adapt the estimation algorithm to these changes.

Precise SOC control to ensure battery logistics safety

NEWARE's battery charging and discharging performance testing equipment and BTS software can accurately set the SOC value according to customer needs, including regulating it to less than 30%, in order to meet the international safety standards for lithium battery transportation, and ensure the safety and reliability of the battery in the logistics process.
It can be used in conjunction with auxiliary modules, and temperature box equipment to realize real-time detection or control of battery temperature.

Lithium-Ion Batteries SOC
transportation specifications under industry standards

ISO 12405: a standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for lithium-ion batteries for electric road vehicles, including test methods for SOC. 

IEC 62660: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard for lithium-ion power batteries for electric road vehicles, IEC 62660-2 part covers reliability and abuse testing of batteries, which is indirectly related to the evaluation of SOC. 

SAE J2434: a standard developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for the testing of energy storage systems for hybrid electric vehicles, which includes requirements for SOC testing. 

UN 38.3: this is the United Nations Recommendations on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (UN Recommendations) standard and test manual, which also covers testing requirements for SOC of lithium-ion batteries to ensure safe transportation. 

Several industry standards or companies require that lithium batteries be transported with a SOC set at 30% or less.
