  • Methods for testing a battery and devices configured to test a battery
    Patent number: 9995794
    Abstract: A method for testing a battery may be provided. The method may include: bringing the battery to a pre-determined voltage; determining a parameter of the battery, the parameter of the battery including at least one of an entropy of the battery at the pre-determined voltage or an enthalpy of the battery at the pre-determined voltage; and determining an ageing history of the battery based on the determined parameter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 6, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 12, 2018
    Assignee: Nanyang Technological University
    Inventors: Rachid Yazami, Kenza Maher
  • Devices for testing a battery and methods for testing a battery
    Patent number: 9551759
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a device for testing a battery may be provided. The device for testing a battery may include: a determination circuit configured to determine at least one of a differential enthalpy of the battery and a differential entropy of the battery; and an evaluation circuit configured to evaluate a health state of the battery based on the determined at least one of the differential enthalpy and the differential entropy.
