Abstract: A method for battery capacity estimation is provided. The method includes monitoring a sensor, collecting a plurality of data points including a voltage-based state of charge value and an integrated current value, defining within the data points a first data set collected during a first time period and a second data set collected during a second time period, determining an integrated current error related to the second data set, comparing the integrated current error related to the second data set to a threshold integrated current error. When the error related to the second data set exceeds the threshold, the method further includes resetting the second data set based upon an integrated current value from the first time period. The method further includes combining the data sets to create a combined data set and determining a voltage slope capacity estimate as a change in integrated current versus voltage-based state of charge.

Abstract: Presented are electrochemical devices with in-stack reference electrodes, methods for making/using such devices, and battery cells with stacked electrodes segregated by electrode separator assemblies including thermal barriers and built-in reference electrodes. An electrochemical device, such as a lithium-class secondary battery cell, includes an insulated and sealed housing with an ion-conducting electrolyte located inside the housing. A stack of working electrodes is also located inside the device housing, in electrochemical contact with the electrolyte. At least one electrode separator assembly is located inside the device housing, interposed between a neighboring pair of (anode and cathode) working electrodes. The electrode separator assembly includes a separator layer fabricated with an electrically insulating material that is sufficiently porous to transmit therethrough the ions of the electrolyte. An electrically conductive current collector (CC) layer, a thermally insulating thermal barrier (TB) layer, and an active electrode reference electrode (RE) layer are attached to the separator layer.

Abstract: Presented are electrochemical devices with in-stack sensor arrays, methods for making/using such electrochemical devices, and lithium-class battery cells with stacked electrode assemblies having in-stack sensor arrays. An electrochemical device includes a device housing that stores an electrolyte composition for conducting ions. An electrode stack, which is located inside the device housing in electrochemical contact with the electrolyte, includes at least two working electrodes. An electrically insulating and ionically transmissive separator is interposed between each neighboring pair of working electrodes. A reference electrode is attached to one side of the separator and connected to multiple electrical sensing devices. Multiple electrical sensing leads are attached to another side of the separator, opposite the reference electrode, with each abutting a discrete region of a working electrode and each connecting to one of the sensing devices to transmit thereto electrical signals indicative of an electrical characteristic (e.g., voltage) of the discrete region it contacts.
