Predicting the Battery Life of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

2 Predicting the Battery Life of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles [Pg.29]

Depending on the type of rechargeable battery, various control mechanisms and maintenance procedures are needed to achieve a perfect balance. In some cases, thermal management systems, periodic overcharging, and active electronic systems are needed to maintain the SOC in the battery within its intended operating range. Under these complex requirements, the battery life is highly variable and, hence, unpredictable. [Pg.29]
