Randomized Battery Usage 7: Low-Temperature Left-Skewed Random Walk

Published by PCoE | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: October 19, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-04-01
This dataset is part of a series of datasets, where batteries are continuously cycled with randomly generated current profiles. Reference charging and discharging cycles are also performed after a fixed interval of randomized usage to provide reference benchmarks for battery state of health. In this dataset, four 18650 Li-ion batteries (Identified as RW13, RW14, RW15 and RW16) were continuously operated by repeatedly charging them to 4.2V and then discharging them to 3.2V using a randomized sequence of discharging currents between 0.5A and 5A. This type of discharging profile is referred to here as random walk (RW) discharging. A customized probability distribution is used in this experiment to select a new load setpoint every 1 minute during RW discharging operation. The custom probability distribution was designed to be skewed towards selecting lower currents.
