Concerns about climate change have significantly accelerated the process of vehicle electrification to improve the sustainability of the transportation sector. Increasing the adoption of electrified vehicles is closely tied to the advancement of reliable energy storage systems, with lithium-ion batteries currently standing as the most widely employed technology. One of the key technical challenges for reliability and durability of battery packs is the ability to accurately predict and control the temperature of the cells and temperature gradient between cells inside the pack. For this reason, accurate models are required to predict and control the cell temperature during driving and charging operations. This work presents a set of procedures tailored to characterize and measure the thermal properties in li-ion cells and modules.
