Effect of the Depth of Discharge and C-Rate on Battery Degradation and Cycle Life

The performance and durability of rechargeable batteries are paramount in a wide range of contemporary applications. Depth of Discharge and C-Rate are pivotal factors in battery degradation. Deeper discharges and rapid charge/discharge rates subject batteries to increased stress, accelerating their wear and capacity loss. Understanding and carefully managing these factors are vital for extending battery lifespan and improving the performance of electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. This research delves into the complex interaction between Depth of Discharge and C-Rate, providing insights into their individual and combined effects on battery performance and aging mechanisms. By examining Depth of Discharge and C-Rate, this study offers valuable perspectives on the compromised energy storage capacity and long-term robustness. The simulation results demonstrate that elevated Depth of Discharge and C-Rate can expedite battery degradation while presenting prospects for customized applications through the careful equilibrium of energy demands and longevity.
