Abstract :
The development of dynamic calorimetry as a technique for characterizing the thermal properties and thermal dissipation of battery cells under operational conditions is presented. This technique is discussed as a method for measuring dissipation, detecting phase transitions, determining thermal gradients in battery cells, evaluating gas management in nickel hydrogen cells, and for measuring unknown thermal resistances from thermal transients
