Design and Validation of Lifetime Prediction Model for Lithium-Thiocarbonyl Chloride Batteries Based on Accelerated Aging Experiments

The purpose of this study is to establish a life prediction model of lithium-thiocarbonyl chloride batteries by semi-empirical method. In the experiment, accelerated life tests on several groups of batteries at different temperatures were conducted. After a period of operation in the range from 25 °C to 74 °C, it was found that the higher the temperature, the less the remaining capacity of the batteries. According to the study of the battery aging mechanism, the characteristic parameter impedance of an aging battery would change exponentially with the increase of storage time and environmental temperature. The established life prediction model showed that the change in battery impedance spectrum had a good law, which made it possible to predict the state of charge (SOC) of the battery according to the local change characteristics of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) spectrum. The experimental data were compared with the fitted prediction curve, and the maximum deviation of the prediction was only 4.1036%, which indicated that the constructed model had high accuracy.
