    What's the formula to calculate Columbic efficiency for LFP cell / battery pack both for chg and dchg?

    yes that's the way to do it, I mean even you fail still a result is a result considered good or bad, atleast you can make some outcomes out of it, let me know about your process, that would be interesting :cool:?

    What's the formula to calculate Columbic efficiency for LFP cell / battery pack both for chg and dchg?

    thanks for the suggestion however at the moment I don't want to include the temp factor yet as it will get more complicated(I know temp can be ignored), atm I am doing my test at room temp (25C). in the industry what I know is that temp sensors are mounted in the middle of every 4th cell for a...

    What's the formula to calculate Columbic efficiency for LFP cell / battery pack both for chg and dchg?

    he said for charging we do calculate using the formula which is nothing diff but for discharging we don't bother using formula but instead, we assume it to be 100% and as for the formula part, if you are really curious then here is research paper that I am following. you can have a look at it :)

    What's the formula to calculate Columbic efficiency for LFP cell / battery pack both for chg and dchg?

    usually I have read that for Lfp self-discharge over a month is 3-5% so in this case how can one account for this in our meter readings? Soc reading - (3%/30days = 0.003% per day ) is it correct ?

    What's the formula to calculate Columbic efficiency for LFP cell / battery pack both for chg and dchg?

    just to clear I am after SOC calculation and want to know what effect the CE and Peukert has got into it. the more effects are taken into consideration the more accurate I can be in estimation

    What's the formula to calculate Columbic efficiency for LFP cell / battery pack both for chg and dchg?

    so can I then say that for a LFP battery temp change on Columbic Eff is non-existent or can be neglected?

    What's the formula to calculate Columbic efficiency for LFP cell / battery pack both for chg and dchg?

    thank you for the correction so if I decide to lets sat do 5 cycles complete chg / dchg on 0.1C then 0.2C ... all the way to 1C with increments of 0.1 here .. later have them averaged and put them in a table so I know if the battery is in this rate I choose that respective value of CE. would...

    What's the formula to calculate Columbic efficiency for LFP cell / battery pack both for chg and dchg?

    just for your own info, I have found the formula for both stages in a research paper and they are quite a diff from each other :)

    How many chg/dchg cycles are required to estimate a battery capacity?

    Dear all, I have some small LFP cells that I want to calculate capacities of , they are rated 3400mah from the manufacturer and I have attached the datasheet for it. I would also keep things simple here so I am maintaining the temp of my exp to 25degrees. My question here is how many no of...

    What's the formula to calculate Columbic efficiency for LFP cell / battery pack both for chg and dchg?

    with due respect if you read this particular thread you will understand what I am really after, CE is a completely different topic and it has got its own complexities. saying temp , C-rates , shunt is very easy but telling the right procedure and steps arent. if it was that simple , I would have...

    How to create SOC vs OCV chart for LFP cell ?

    hmm so If I talk about data here which is my most interesting point of interest, what If I log the capacity values as well for these voltage points so when I do the estimation using CC. I will go to my lookup table and based on what my current battery cell voltage is I will use that Cap(SOC)...

    What's the formula to calculate Columbic efficiency for LFP cell / battery pack both for chg and dchg?

    what do you mean here by different sets of data ? do you mean I repeat the test at different C-rates for eg one time at 0.1C , next time 0.5C and so on or do you mean repeat the same test but multiple times at a fixed rate? also will this be my charging Coloumbic eff or dicharging Coloumbic eff ?

    How to create SOC vs OCV chart for LFP cell ?

    yes sure , thats why I have stated above that I am doing it based on a shunt , I am discharging based on capacity and whatever OCV I get I save that on the table. I just want to know whether I should I charge my cell to 3.65V and then start test or give it rest for 24hours or several hours...

    How to create SOC vs OCV chart for LFP cell ?

    this is part of my degree project, I am a student :). if I could have bought (afford) the Victron shunt then I shouldn't make this thread haha but here as I am studying batteries and want to understand the LFP chem in-depth as later I will jump to bigger cells and so on ?.

    How to create SOC vs OCV chart for LFP cell ?

    yes exactly this chart and I dcg and chg at 0.2C (0.68A) compared to rated 3.4A(1C) , I want to create this chart and record this OCV vs SOC and also respective capacity in a table

    How to create SOC vs OCV chart for LFP cell ?

    yes completely agree with your point , Can you please suggest me how should I plot my table for SOC vs OCV using the shunt .... I can then follow that , also I went with 0.2C so Vter = Vocv+IR so at 0.2C the current is fairly less and then after giving hours of rest and measuring OCV I can then...

    How to create SOC vs OCV chart for LFP cell ?

    I think I need to restate my point. what I mean instead of creating OCV vs SOC or DoD ( just assume soc would be dod in dchg mode) , instead of relying only on open circuit voltage vs SOC/DOD it would be more sensible to plot OCV based on Capacity charged / discharged. usually a discharge is...

    How to create SOC vs OCV chart for LFP cell ?

    alright after getting a shunt-type meter what next? how should I create ocv vs soc plot ? if I do based on capacity approach which is also what I am after then ocv vs soc will be meaningless right? a better way would be to create a Capacity discharged vs SOC table?

    How to Calculate Coloumbic efficiency of an LiFePo4 battery for SOC estimation

    really appreciate your extensive reply and after reading all this I don't think I can pull this off taking the time into consideration here so back to my question that I asked above can I find CE for diff C-rates and then fit them into a lookup table so based on my current value (C-rate) both of...

    How to Calculate Coloumbic efficiency of an LiFePo4 battery for SOC estimation

    just to clarify I am working on 3.4Ah a small (blue) cylindrical LFP cell and as I saw those percentage numbers sepcially for 1C chg / dchg rate I am wondering if that 90% can happen for my small cell too I really doubt about it. do you have these percentages based on your own tests or from...
