N2 - A new method is proposed to estimate state of health (SoH) of LiFePO 4/graphite cells using partial charge capacity (PCC) between 3.5 and 3.6 V. A degradation index (DI), defined as the ratio of the current PCC to the initial PCC (for a fresh cell) at the same conditions, is found to linearly correlate with the SoH. The PCC is measured at constant current charging, which can readily be implemented and is much easier than using discharge diagnosis dependent on road and driving conditions. This method only needs to record charging time between 3.5 and 3.6 V during constant current charging, but does not require full discharge before the charging and any additional sensors or complex computations of model-based approaches. Consequently, it is an efficient and simple method to estimate the SoH of LiFePO4/graphite cells by using the PCC-based degradation index.
