4.1.1: Welcome to the course!

What topics will we study in this course?

key off: store data

key on: initialize
meas. voltage estimate estimate balance compute

In this course, you will learn:

current state of state of power
temperature charge (SOC) health (SOH) cells limits

 The primary ways that lithium-ion battery loop once each measurement interval while pack is active

cells degrade over time, motivating a need to be able to adjust

cell-model parameter values
 How to estimate cell resistance as it changes over time
 How to estimate cell total capacity as it changes over time using
several different methods (and their tradeoffs)
 How to co-estimate the state and parameters of a cell model as
both change with different timescales (honors)
