This brings us to the end of the non-honors version of temperature charge (SOC) health (SOH) cells limits

loop once each measurement interval while pack is active

course 1 in the BMS algorithms specialization

Decision point:
Honors track has one more week in
course 1, looking into how Li-ion cells
are manufactured, how they age and fail
Remaining courses focus on how to
estimate battery internal state, and how
to control battery operation

Where from here?

All future discussion moves towards learning how to design temperature charge (SOC) health (SOH) cells limits

loop once each measurement interval while pack is active

and implement BMS monitoring and controls algorithms

To be able to do so, we need a way to describe
mathematically how battery cells behave
So, course 2 “How to create and simulate equivalent-circuit models” introduces
Some helpful battery models
How to find parameter values for models
Methods and example code to simulate battery cells and battery packs
Example of how to simulate a battery load

Important note

Note also that many/most of the methods we talk about are temperature charge (SOC) health (SOH) cells limits

loop once each measurement interval while pack is active

patented and owned by battery-application companies

This is true even of methods commonly found in the literature—most have been
developed by companies for their own use
Strongly motivates research to develop methods that are sufficiently different from
those that have been patented, so that they may be implemented freely (or, so
that you may patent them!)
But, it also means that you may not use these methods commercially without
license from the patent owner
