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.

Figure 1. Voltage versus capacity discharged during the static capacity test
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.

Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the battery charge and discharge calculated pulse resistance, which indicate internal
resistance at each 10-percent depth-of-discharge interval.

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.
