Many consortia and publications have proposed a number of standard drives to evaluate battery performance. Schedules such as the Federal Urban Drive Schedule (FUDS), the Highway Fuel Economy Test (HWFET), and the Dynamic Stress Test (DST) are used as yardsticks of performance on a comparative basis. As metrics for fuel economy or other corporate standards, they may be appropriate but these should not generally be used as the real-world test of battery performance. Where performance is to be measured, it is recommended here that a Kochis Stress Test (KST) be used, which is a test philosophy that states that the maximum loads (charge and discharge) that will be used in the vehicle should be used to establish performance traits. This implies two points (i) the test should be demonstrated and calibrated in a vehicle that is the intended application (ii) if vehicle calibrations are changed, the effect on battery performance must be re-evaluated.
