Li-ion battery ageing mechanisms
The battery life duration is generally limited by the ageing
of the Li-ion battery electrodes and chemistry.
It can be observed through the evolution of two performances criteria:
 The evolution of the battery capacity
 The evolution of the battery internal resistance
According usage conditions, other criteria may limit the performances of
the battery such as the effect of temperature and the shelf life,….
3
Li-ion battery ageing mechanisms
 The progressive reduction of the battery capacity over life
 The progressive increase of the internal resistance of the battery
as it limits the battery power.
The ageing is often attributed to 2 cumulative mechanisms
 Calendar life ageing: effect of time and temperature on performances.
 Cyle life ageing: effect of charge and discharge cycles on performances.

Li-ion chemistries
The battery chemistry is characterized by the cathode material (LCO, NMC,
LFP, etc…)* and the anode material ( Graphite, LTO, ..)**
*Cathode materials: LCO= Lithiated Cobalt Oxyde, NMC= Lithiated Nickel Manganese Cobalt
Oxyde,
LFP= Lithium Iron Phosphate.
**Anode material:
LTO= Lithium Titanate.

Li-ion batteries key features
•
Multiple Chemistries:
Li-Ion is a generic term for rechargeable batteries
It covers several types of battery chemistries and several
formats for various applications (see next slides).
•
Improving technology:
This technology is still in an development phase
New chemistries and designs are progressively introduced
on the market.

* LTO and Si-C are anodes, which can be combined with any cathode.
The selection of a chemistry for a given application is a trade off
between various parameters

Li-ion batteries / Formats
1. The battery is also characterized by its format.
1. Button cells
2. Hard cases: cylindrical or prismatic (aluminium welded can) 3. Soft case or « pouch »

Li-ion ageing: capacity evolution with cycles
The cycle life duration is often measured with cycling at 100% depth of
discharge: in this case -15% capacity after 1000 cycles

But the large majority of applications do not use 100 % of the battery
capacity at each cycle ( limited depth of discharge by the user or by the
Battery Management System).

Li-ion ageing: cycle life vs depth of discharge
The depth of discharge has a large effect on the number of cycle: 1 million
cycles can be achieved at low DOD.
=> the battery management system can protect the battery while limiting
the DOD

Li-ion life duration by application
The battery life duration is determined by 3 key factors
 The battery design: type and quality of selected materials and components,
design of the product.
 The application constraints: temperature of operation, type of usage ( from
high power permanent cycling to permanent charge for back-up).
 The Battery Management System regulation mode: the more efficient is the
battery protection, the longer the service life.
Consequently, the service life expectation can be as short as 1 to 2 years,
(e.g. in cordless power tool) or up to 20 years (e.g. in in stationnary back-up
applications)!
