³ The CD and CS Usable Energy margins are defined as the difference between the battery usable energy values obtained from testing and the
corresponding targets as defined in the Battery Test Manual for Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles. A negative margin value indicates performance below
the target, however it does not necessarily indicate any deficiency in the performance of the battery as it was designed to operate by the vehicle
manufacturer.

PHEV Battery Test Results Analysis


Battery test results include those from the Static Capacity Test and the Hybrid Pulse Power
Characterization (HPPC) Test, based on test procedures from the United States Advanced Battery
Consortium Battery Test Manual For Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles at the time of testing. These tests
were performed for the US Department of Energy Vehicle Technology Office’s Advanced Vehicle
Testing Activity which is conducted by the Idaho National Laboratory and Intertek Testing Services,
North America.

Static Capacity Test Results


The Static Capacity Test measures the charge and energy capacities of the battery between maximum and
minimum pack voltages when discharged at a constant current calculated to approximate a 10 kW
discharge rate.Ї Pack voltage versus capacity discharged during the Static Capacity Test is shown in
Figure 1. Three iterations of the Static Capacity Test are performed at each interval, and the average
results from each interval test are shown in the test results summary table on page 1.

Hybrid Pulse Power Characterization Test Results


The HPPC test is performed to characterize the discharge and charge pulse power capability of the
battery at each 10-percent depth-of-discharge interval. Numerical results derived from the HPPC test
results are summarized in the table on page 1, including comparison of the measured results to the United
States Advanced Battery Consortium goals for PHEV batteries. The results from these tests are in
relation to the targets for a Medium PHEV Battery, having an equivalent electric range of 20 miles.

Ї Discharge rate is determined by taking the average of the maximum and minimum voltage values for a particular pack and dividing
that value into 10 kW, per the PHEV manual. For this vehicle, the value is 10kW / 302.4 V = 33.07 A.

Figure 4 shows the battery’s 10-second charge and discharge pulse power capabilities as a function of
energy discharged. The Medium PHEV battery target performance goals of 37 kW discharge power and
25 kW charge power are shown as a dashed line. Note that the axes are scaled such that the charge and
discharge pulse power goals align.

Figure 5 shows the charge-depleting (CD) and charge-sustaining (CS) Usable Energy curves, calculated
using the methods from the PHEV battery test manual. The curves indicate the Usable Energy as a
function of discharge power. The two dotted horizontal lines show the USABC Medium PHEV battery
Available Energy goals for CS and CD modes of 0.3 kWh and 5.8 kWh, respectively. The dotted vertical
line shows the Medium PHEV battery CS power target of 37 kW. CS and CD Available Energies are
defined as the Usable Energy points, on the y-axis, where each respective curve crosses the discharge
power goal line. CS Available Power is defined as the discharge power point, on the x-axis, where the CS
Usable Energy curve crosses the CS energy goal line.
