[Charge/Discharge Profile (Initial, Current Status)]
- This comparison is not suitable for HC because the cell design is two different.
[Charge/Discharge Profile (Initial, post-compensation)]
- Even after the cell thickness has been calibrated, the cell capacity of Gramax a is slightly greater than the HC.
[Discharge Proportion capability]
- Gramax¥á appears to be superior to HC up to 7CA emissions.
In 10CA discharge, thicker electrodes and/or conductive materials for
Gramax¥á may not have been affected.
[DC-IR at various SOC (Discharge)]
- In contrast to high-speed discharge, Gramax¥á represents DC-j lower than HC, despite its disadvantages to electrode thickness.
[Cycle characteristics]
- Capacity retention after 200 cycles (1C/1C) is 95% for Gramax.
92% for HC.
A further cycle test has been initiated.
(3C/3C to 400 Cycles and 5C/5C to 600 Cycles).
[High temperature storage]
- After 20 days, capacity retention rates are 85%; 89% for Gramax ¥á; 78% for HC; and 82%.
[Summary (temporary)]
¡¤ Even after the cell thickness correction, Gramax ¥á appears to be better or at least has compatible properties compared to HC.
¡¤ Gramax-0E, a capacity holding capacity of 10CA and/or -20¡ÆC, may be improved when using conductive additives or adopting other cell designs.
¡¤ Gramax ¥á may be substituted for HC.
