Lithium-Ion batteries are popular for use in Electric vehicle (EV) applications. To improve and understand the use of Lithium-Ion batteries (LIBs) in EV application, present study focused and utilized equivalent circuit models (ECMs). Model parameters are identified using pulse charge and discharge test carried on 20Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate cell. Curve-fitting technique is utilized and detailed procedure to extract model parameters is presented. Models are validated with experimental data of pulse discharge test. Accuracy obtained using 1-RC, 2-RC, 3-RC circuit models is verified and high accuracy of 3RC circuit model can make it act as a battery emulator. Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is utilized for estimation of State of Charge (SOC) of Lithium Iron Phosphate cell. As per our observation, a good accuracy with low computational burden can be achieved with 1RC model parameters.
