Abstract

A means for determining long-term discharge performance, particularly in a lithium/silver vanadium oxide cell, by analyzing and characterizing the initial pulse voltage waveform, is described. The relationship between the initial P1 (Pmin) voltage drop and the extent of that initial voltage drop with Plast (the final voltage under load) is a reliable indication of long-term discharge performance.
