Abstract Title   Cell wet-life - as important a consideration with Lithium-ion as other chemistries? Abstract Author(s)   Jeremy Neubauer, Robert Wright, David Curzon, Chris Pearson (ABSL) Abstract Presenter   Jeremy Neubauer Abstract   ABSL has encountered requirements for multiple years of cell wet life prior to launch in a number of space battery specifications. ABSL research suggested that this requirement could have been present in the battery specifications for a number of different chemistries over the last twenty years. This suggests it might not be relevant for Lithium-ion. This paper describes analysis performed by ABSL to gauge the benefit of minimizing Li-ion wet life compared to other factors such as the effect on EOL performance and comparative importance of proper post-delivery handling to potentially aid the evolution of Li-ion battery requirements.
