Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electric vehicles. A robust battery Received 00.00.2020

of electric vehicles. In this study, simultaneous main influences of charging factors on
open circuit potential were statistically determined by using the Taguchi design. The
response table and variance analysis were performed to determine the significant
charging factors on lithium-ion battery. The results showed that the battery potential was
the most influential charging factor to the open circuit potential. Furthermore, the
statistically significant correlation between each charging factor and open circuit
potential was determined based on 95% significance level. The interactions between * Corresponding author
