Determination of the State of Discharge of Lithium/Organic Electrolyte/Graphite Fluoride Cells.

Abstract

The state of discharge of lithium/organic electrolyte/graphite fluoride cells can be determined non-destructively by measuring the cell voltage rise after termination of the load current. For a given cell design and geometry, the average error in determining the state of discharge amounted to 7.8% for a current density range of 0.2 - 2.0 mA/sq cm for both continuous or intermittent operation. Kinetic parameters, such as cathodic polarization or exchange current at the cathode, are suited for determining the state of discharge only under limited conditions of operation. (Author)
