  • Abstract
    Studies of the impact on battery reliability as the Weibull characteristic life and the shape factor vary are reviewed. The life of batteries that incorporate switches that can remove failed cells from the active battery network is studied using Monte Carlo methodology with Weibull statistical distributions. Results for two load-leveling battery networks and for two electric vehicle batteries are presented
