4.4.2 COMPENSATING FOR CELL AGING
As lithium ion cells age, the voltage versus capacity
curves become depressed. That is, the battery cell can
no longer deliver as high of a voltage as it once could
for a given capacity. The overall capacity loss is
adjusted for by the relearning of full charge capacity.
The End-Of-Discharge voltage points, which are
voltage points at which a certain capacity remains, are
adjusted using a scaling factor.
The End-Of-Discharge voltage points will become lower
with each cycle. A cycle is defined as a total amount of
discharge capacity equal to full charge capacity. Cycle
count is used to determine the age of the cells and the
parameter, AgeFactor, determines the number of milli-
volts that the voltage becomes depressed per cycle.
AgeFactor is subtracted from the End-Of-Discharge
voltage for every cycle the battery has been through.
AgeFactor units are in eighths of millivolts. Thus, with
the effect of aging, the actual End-Of-Discharge voltage
becomes:
EQUATION 4-2:
VEODaged = VEOD – (CycleCount * AgeFactor * 0.125) mV
