... New analytical test tools and methods are described in this article, and their refinement and adoption will enhance the ability of lithium ion technology to supplant liquid hydrocarbon fuels in the transportation sector and thus positively contribute to the global environment. INTRODUCTION The governments of the United States, European Union, China, and Japan, among others, have announced increasingly strict fuel economy regulations.

... But low-temperature, cost, and life challenges prevent lithium ion technology from supplanting lead acid chemistries in the stop-start market. The various EV types, with their different array of electrified features, place very different power, energy, and cycle life demands on their batteries.

... Cycle life acceleration is more problematic, as its decay mechanism is more difficult to accelerate through established techniques. High-precision battery testing has recently been proposed as a method to accelerate the understanding of cycle life–based decay mechanisms (Smith et al.
From page 28...
... Recognizing this opportunity for improvement, there has been growing interest in research on high-precision battery testing. Current academic systems have achieved 100 ppm error in terms of coulombic efficiency, with a goal of 10 ppm for future systems (Dahn et al.

... In the United States, these regulations take the form of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) , of which FMVSS 305 addresses electrified vehicles (Table 1)

... The team performed a rigorous fault tree analysis (FTA) to consider all the possible lithium ion–specific faults a vehicle could experience and produced a ranked list of priority hazards, from which the top three -- crush, overcharge, and TABLE 2  European Council for Automotive Research & Development (EUCAR)

... The sites evaluated string, module, and pack hardware built up with three types of lithium ion cells. The experimental testing and analysis allowed for significant test procedure refinement and confidence in battery responses.

... This approach ignores the Ohm's law behavior of the short circuit reaction, which dictates that the severity of the short is dependent on the relative resistance of the hardware to the shunt. By exploring a range of relative resistance values it is possible to correlate test current and shunt resistance to the likely test outcome.
