Abstract:

Lithium-ion batteries are favored in developing new energy vehicles with good performance. However, due to the inconsistency of batteries and other reasons, some batteries become overcharged, and the long-term change cycle will affect their performance and life. This study conducted overcharge cycle tests of 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 V for lithium-ion batteries. Entropy coefficient, direct current resistance, heat generation power, and heat generation of the battery were obtained by conducting an open-circuit voltage temperature coefficient test, a hybrid pulse power characteristic test, and an isothermal calorimetry test on a new battery and that after an overcharge cycle. The battery's reversible and irreversible heat were calculated using the Bernadi heat generation model. The overcharge cycle's influence on the battery's heat generation characteristic was analyzed comprehensively. Results show that a high overcharge voltage has a more noticeable impact on battery performance. Compared with the new battery, the direct current resistance of that after 4.3 and 4.4 V overcharge cycles did not increase significantly. However, the maximum internal resistance of the battery rose by 42.41% after 4.5 V overcharge cycles. After the overcharge cycle, the entropy coefficient curve of the battery fluctuates even more, and the amplitude increases with an increase in the cycle voltage. Compared with the discharge cycle, the overcharge cycle more obviously influences heat generation when charging. It first affects the reversible heat in the battery's heat source. An increase in overcharge voltage causes the proportion of reversible heat to increase.

Key words: lithium-ion batteries, overcharge cycle, DC resistance, entropy coefficient, heat generation
