Sumario:With regard to safety, efficiency and lifetime of battery systems, the thermal behavior of battery cells is of great interest. The use of models describing the thermoelectric behavior of battery cells improves the understanding of heat generation mechanisms and enables the development of optimized thermal management systems. In this work, a novel experimental approach is presented to determine both the irreversible heat due to ohmic losses and the reversible heat due to entropy changes directly via heat flow measurements. No additional information about thermal properties of the battery cell, such as heat capacity or thermal conductivity, are required. Thus, the exothermic and endothermic nature of reversible heat generated in a complete charge/discharge cycle can be investigated. Moreover, the results of the proposed method can potentially be used to provide an additional constraint during the identification process of the equivalent circuit model parameters. The described method is applied to a 23 <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="normal">A</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula><inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="normal">h</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> lithium titanate cell and the corresponding results are presented.
