Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for constructing an electrochemical process manifold (EPM) for a battery cell during a formation process. The current through the cell is controllably adjusted to charge or discharge the cell. The temperature and/or pressure may be controllably adjusted along with the current. At each of a plurality of time steps as the current is controllably adjusted, the voltage across the cell is measured and integrated over time to obtain a voltage-hours value for each time step. A data point is stored in memory for each time step that includes the measured voltage, the voltage-hours value, and the current through the cell at the respective time step. The data points for each time step are mapped onto an EPM, and the EPM is stored in a non-transitory computer-readable memory medium.
