Charging the Li-ion battery with constant current and constant voltage (CC-CV) strategy at minus10∘C can only reach 4847 of thenormal capacity To improve the poor charging characteristic at low temperature the working principle of charging battery at lowtemperature is analyzed using electrochemical model and first-order RC equivalent circuit model moreover the multistage CC-CV strategy is proposed In the proposed multistage CC-CV strategy the charging current is decreased to extend the chargingprocess when terminal voltage reaches the charging cut-off voltageThe charging results of multistage CC-CV strategy are obtainedat 25∘C 0∘C and minus10∘C compared with the results of CC-CV and two-stage CC-CC strategies The comparison results show thatat the target temperatures the charging capacities are increased with multistage CC-CV strategy and it is notable that the chargingcapacity can reach 8532 of the nominal capacity at minus10∘C also the charging time is decreased
1 Introduction
With the advantages of zero pollution high energy efficiencyand pluralistic energy sources electric vehicle (EV) has beenthe new development point of motor industry [1ndash3] Li-ion battery has been widely used in EV for its high energydensity long cycle life and high safety level [4] But thebattery technology still cannot meet the EV demand of longtravel distance fast capacity recovery and low temperatureutilization [5] At low temperature battery chemical activitydecreases resistance increases and capacity is decreasedCharging process is more difficult than the dischargingprocess at low temperature [6 7]
Muchwork has been done on charging strategies in recentyears In [8] a three-step charging method for NiMH batterywas proposed to obtain the rapid charge In [9] an optimumcurrent charging strategy based on the boundary chargingcurrent curves was proposedThe boundary charging currentcurves were obtained by analysis of temperature rise andpolarization voltage in charging processThe charging periodwas decreased and capacity was increased with the strat-egy Reference [10] proposed a duty-varied voltage chargingstrategy that can detect and dynamically track the suitableduty of the charging pulse Compared with conventional
CC-CV strategy the charging speed was increased by 14and charging efficiency was increased by 34 Reference[11] constructed a SOC estimation model and the CC-CV charging process was controlled by battery SOC Thecharging capacity can be monitored to gain a higher levelcharging degree and avoid being overcharged In [12] an AntColony System algorithm was used to select the optimumcharging current among five charging states and the chargingtime was decreased and battery cycle life was extendedby 25 In [13] a Taguchi-based algorithm was used toobtain rapid charge With the charging strategy the batterycapacity could reach to 75 in 40min In [14] a constant-polarization-based fuzzy-control charging method was pro-posed to adapt charging current acceptance with batterySOC stages The charging strategy could shorten chargingtime with no obvious temperature rise Ruan et al andZhao et al [15 16] studied the temperature characteristic ofcharging and discharging processThe temperature increasedmore in discharging process compared to the temperatureincrease in charging process The pulse chargingdischargingprocess was added before charging process so the batterycould be preheated The battery could start charging processat relatively high temperature and charging capacity wasincreased at low temperature

All the charging strategies increase the battery chargingcharacteristic at different degrees proposed in [8ndash14] But thecharging performance at low temperature is not consideredAlthough the preheating charging strategy at low temperatureproposed in [15 16] can increase the charging capacity theself-preheating process costs toomuch time and cannot workat low SOC condition This paper analyzes the chargingcharacteristic of a Li-ion battery at different temperature useselectrochemical model and first-order 119877119862 equivalent circuitmodel to analyze the bad low temperature characteristic ofLi-ion battery in theory and proposes a multistage CC-CVstrategy The multistage CC-CV strategy is compared withCC-CV and two-stage CC-CV strategies at 25∘C 0∘C andminus10∘C

For the CC-CV strategy the constant current processwas charging at 03 C to the cut-off voltage of 36 V and theconstant voltage process was charging at 36 V for 5min
For the two-stage CC-CV strategy the first constantcurrent process was charging at 1 C to the cut-off voltageof 36 V Then in the second constant current process thecharging current was decreased to 05 C Since the chargingcurrent was decreased the terminal voltage was decreasedbelow 36V allowing the constant current process to beextended until the terminal voltage reached the cut-offvoltage once againThe constant voltage process was chargingat 36 V for 5min [17]
For the multistage CC-CV strategy the constant currentprocess was divided into ten stages The maximum and min-imum rates were 1 C and 01 C respectively and the chargingcurrent was decreased by 01 Cwhen terminal voltage reachedthe cut-off voltageThe constant voltage process was chargingat 36 V for 5min

The charging result at 0∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 1196Ah 0758Ah and 1246Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 82 395 and 89respectively As the main charging rate of two-stage CC-CVstrategy is 05 C higher than 03 C of CC-CV strategy andthe charging rate does not decrease further the two-stageCC-CV strategy has the largest decrease in charging capacitydecrease at 0∘C As multistage CC-CV strategy has 02 C and01 C charging rate lower than 03 C of CC-CV strategy thecharging capacity of multistage CC-CV strategy is higherthan that of CC-CV strategy

53 Different Charging StrategyAnalysis atminus10∘C Figures 16ndash18 show the terminal voltage curves with different chargingstrategies at minus10∘C The terminal voltage of CC-CV strategyreaches cut-off voltage at SOC point of 4867 The termi-nal voltage of the first stage of two-stage CC-CV strategyincreases straightly towards the cut-off voltage and the secondstage only extends the SOC to 3226 All the terminalvoltages of charging current at 1 Cndash06 C of multistage CC-CV strategy increase rapidly to the cut-off voltage with SOCgrowth less than 10 The terminal voltages of chargingcurrent at 05 Cndash01 C increase slower with near 75 of SOCgrowth All the terminal voltage curves indicate that thevoltage increases faster at the lower temperature and highercharging current rate
The charging result at minus10∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 0664Ah 0442Ah and 1169Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 4708 6256 and1453 respectively It can be indicated that the chargingcapacity of CC-CV decreases badly and the first stage oftwo-stage CC-CV strategy oppositely becomes the capacitylimit The multistage CC-CV strategy can keep the chargingcapacity beyond 80 even at minus10∘C

CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies are1017min 3938min and 1971min respectively The curve oftwo-stage CC-CV charging strategy shows the obvious dif-ficulty of capacity increasing at such temperature Althoughthe terminal voltage increasing slope of two-stage CC-CVstrategy is close to that of multistage CC-CV strategy thecharging capacity is significantly differentThe comparison ofthe SOC curves shows that the charging period of multistageCC-CV strategy is still the shortest at the same SOC pointThe multistage CC-CV still has maximum charging capacityat minus10∘C
54 Analysis of Multistage CC-CV Strategy Figure 20 showsthe capacity curves of different charging current rates ofmultistage CC-CV strategy at different temperature and thehigh charging capacity corresponding charging current ratedecreaseswith temperature decreasingThe charging capacityof 1 C is 1162Ah beyond 80 of battery capacity and theother charging rates only need to recover the rest of capacityat 25∘CWhile the high charging rate does not work well withtemperature decreasing the charging current rate with themaximum charging capacity of 028Ah is 05 C at 0∘C Thecharging current rate with the maximum charging capacityof 0266Ah is 03 C at minus10∘C The main capacity is chargedwith a range of charging current rates at low temperatureThe multistage CC-CV can automatically select the optimalcharging current rate for two reasons (1)The cut-off voltagelimit can stop the charging stage of the not optimal chargingcurrent rate (2) The multistage has ten charging currentrates from the maximum 1C to the minimum 01 C ensuringthe charging demands at different temperature points Themultistage CC-CV strategy is a wide temperature rangecharging strategy that keeps high charging capacity and lowcharging period

For the CC-CV strategy the constant current processwas charging at 03 C to the cut-off voltage of 36 V and theconstant voltage process was charging at 36 V for 5min
For the two-stage CC-CV strategy the first constantcurrent process was charging at 1 C to the cut-off voltageof 36 V Then in the second constant current process thecharging current was decreased to 05 C Since the chargingcurrent was decreased the terminal voltage was decreasedbelow 36V allowing the constant current process to beextended until the terminal voltage reached the cut-offvoltage once againThe constant voltage process was chargingat 36 V for 5min [17]
For the multistage CC-CV strategy the constant currentprocess was divided into ten stages The maximum and min-imum rates were 1 C and 01 C respectively and the chargingcurrent was decreased by 01 Cwhen terminal voltage reachedthe cut-off voltageThe constant voltage process was chargingat 36 V for 5min

119901increase significantly with temperature decreasing
The increase of 119877119901can be explained by the slow kinetics
of electrochemical reaction influenced by temperature Theconstant current process of CC-CV strategy is limited bycut-off voltage and the charging capacity mainly dependson the constant current process At low temperature 119877

119901and 119877
119903depends on the
battery design parameters and cannot be controlled duringthe charging process The only parameter which can becontrolled is the charging current As proposed in [17] fora two-stage CC-CV strategy the constant current chargingprocess was divided into two stagesThe first stage is chargingbattery with the maximum charging rate until the cut-offvoltage is reached The second stage charging current wasdecreased to half of the maximum charging rate and theterminal voltage can be decreased to extend the constant

at 25∘C with SOC range beyond 80 are vanished Theincrease in terminal voltage indicates that the normal CC-CVcharging process has been changed by the increase in internalresistance at low temperature
As shown in Figures 13-14 the first charging stage of two-stage CC-CV strategy does not last long before the cut-offvoltage is reached for the increase in internal resistance andthe high charging rate The second charging stage decreasesthe charging current rate by 05 C and the terminal voltagedecreases by 023V and keeps on increasing until the cut-offvoltage is reached Unlike the two-stage CC-CV strategy thecurrent decreases by 01 C of the multistage CC-CV strategyThe terminal voltages of 1 Cndash07 C constant current chargingstages increase rapidly with SOC below 22 Terminal volt-ages of 06 Cndash04 C constant current charging stages increaseslower with SOC between 22 and 734 Terminal voltagesof 03 Cndash01 C constant current charging stages increaserapidly again with SOC beyond 734 The terminal voltagecurve of multistage CC-CV indicates that multistage CC-CVstrategy can automatically select the optimal charging currentby cut-off voltage limiting and current decreasing
The charging result at 0∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 1196Ah 0758Ah and 1246Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 82 395 and 89respectively As the main charging rate of two-stage CC-CVstrategy is 05 C higher than 03 C of CC-CV strategy andthe charging rate does not decrease further the two-stageCC-CV strategy has the largest decrease in charging capacitydecrease at 0∘C As multistage CC-CV strategy has 02 C and01 C charging rate lower than 03 C of CC-CV strategy thecharging capacity of multistage CC-CV strategy is higherthan that of CC-CV strategy

53 Different Charging StrategyAnalysis atminus10∘C Figures 16ndash18 show the terminal voltage curves with different chargingstrategies at minus10∘C The terminal voltage of CC-CV strategyreaches cut-off voltage at SOC point of 4867 The termi-nal voltage of the first stage of two-stage CC-CV strategyincreases straightly towards the cut-off voltage and the secondstage only extends the SOC to 3226 All the terminalvoltages of charging current at 1 Cndash06 C of multistage CC-CV strategy increase rapidly to the cut-off voltage with SOCgrowth less than 10 The terminal voltages of chargingcurrent at 05 Cndash01 C increase slower with near 75 of SOCgrowth All the terminal voltage curves indicate that thevoltage increases faster at the lower temperature and highercharging current rate
The charging result at minus10∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 0664Ah 0442Ah and 1169Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 4708 6256 and1453 respectively It can be indicated that the chargingcapacity of CC-CV decreases badly and the first stage oftwo-stage CC-CV strategy oppositely becomes the capacitylimit The multistage CC-CV strategy can keep the chargingcapacity beyond 80 even at minus10∘C

mined by OCV 119877119901 119877119903 and 119868 As is mentioned above
OCV changes little with temperature decreasing while 119877119903
and 119877
119901increase significantly with temperature decreasing
The increase of 119877119901can be explained by the slow kinetics
of electrochemical reaction influenced by temperature Theconstant current process of CC-CV strategy is limited bycut-off voltage and the charging capacity mainly dependson the constant current process At low temperature 119877

119903depends on the
battery design parameters and cannot be controlled duringthe charging process The only parameter which can becontrolled is the charging current As proposed in [17] fora two-stage CC-CV strategy the constant current chargingprocess was divided into two stagesThe first stage is chargingbattery with the maximum charging rate until the cut-offvoltage is reached The second stage charging current wasdecreased to half of the maximum charging rate and theterminal voltage can be decreased to extend the constant

Figure 11 shows the SOC curves of different chargingstrategies at 25∘C The charging capacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies are1309Ah 1299Ah and 1368Ah respectively The capacitiesof two-stage CC-CV and multi-CC-CV strategies are higherthan that of CC-CV strategy for current decreasing processThe multi-CC-CV has the highest charging capacity becausethe current decrease process of multistage CC-CV strategy

Figure 11 SOC curves of different charging strategies at 25∘C
at 25∘C with SOC range beyond 80 are vanished Theincrease in terminal voltage indicates that the normal CC-CVcharging process has been changed by the increase in internalresistance at low temperature
As shown in Figures 13-14 the first charging stage of two-stage CC-CV strategy does not last long before the cut-offvoltage is reached for the increase in internal resistance andthe high charging rate The second charging stage decreasesthe charging current rate by 05 C and the terminal voltagedecreases by 023V and keeps on increasing until the cut-offvoltage is reached Unlike the two-stage CC-CV strategy thecurrent decreases by 01 C of the multistage CC-CV strategyThe terminal voltages of 1 Cndash07 C constant current chargingstages increase rapidly with SOC below 22 Terminal volt-ages of 06 Cndash04 C constant current charging stages increaseslower with SOC between 22 and 734 Terminal voltagesof 03 Cndash01 C constant current charging stages increaserapidly again with SOC beyond 734 The terminal voltagecurve of multistage CC-CV indicates that multistage CC-CVstrategy can automatically select the optimal charging currentby cut-off voltage limiting and current decreasing
The charging result at 0∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 1196Ah 0758Ah and 1246Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 82 395 and 89respectively As the main charging rate of two-stage CC-CVstrategy is 05 C higher than 03 C of CC-CV strategy andthe charging rate does not decrease further the two-stageCC-CV strategy has the largest decrease in charging capacitydecrease at 0∘C As multistage CC-CV strategy has 02 C and01 C charging rate lower than 03 C of CC-CV strategy thecharging capacity of multistage CC-CV strategy is higherthan that of CC-CV strategy

are 1834min 687min and 148min The curve tendencyof multistage CC-CV charging strategy shows the obviouscapacity increasing speed although the speed is sloweddown for the current decrease at later period As the dottedline shows the charging period of multistage CC-CV isshorter than that of two-stage CC-CV strategy with the samecharging SOC of 5532 The multistage CC-CV still has themaximum charging capacity and minimum charging periodat 0∘C
53 Different Charging StrategyAnalysis atminus10∘C Figures 16ndash18 show the terminal voltage curves with different chargingstrategies at minus10∘C The terminal voltage of CC-CV strategyreaches cut-off voltage at SOC point of 4867 The termi-nal voltage of the first stage of two-stage CC-CV strategyincreases straightly towards the cut-off voltage and the secondstage only extends the SOC to 3226 All the terminalvoltages of charging current at 1 Cndash06 C of multistage CC-CV strategy increase rapidly to the cut-off voltage with SOCgrowth less than 10 The terminal voltages of chargingcurrent at 05 Cndash01 C increase slower with near 75 of SOCgrowth All the terminal voltage curves indicate that thevoltage increases faster at the lower temperature and highercharging current rate
The charging result at minus10∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 0664Ah 0442Ah and 1169Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 4708 6256 and1453 respectively It can be indicated that the chargingcapacity of CC-CV decreases badly and the first stage oftwo-stage CC-CV strategy oppositely becomes the capacitylimit The multistage CC-CV strategy can keep the chargingcapacity beyond 80 even at minus10∘C

Figure 19 SOC curves of different charging strategies at minus10∘C
CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies are1017min 3938min and 1971min respectively The curve oftwo-stage CC-CV charging strategy shows the obvious dif-ficulty of capacity increasing at such temperature Althoughthe terminal voltage increasing slope of two-stage CC-CVstrategy is close to that of multistage CC-CV strategy thecharging capacity is significantly differentThe comparison ofthe SOC curves shows that the charging period of multistageCC-CV strategy is still the shortest at the same SOC pointThe multistage CC-CV still has maximum charging capacityat minus10∘C
54 Analysis of Multistage CC-CV Strategy Figure 20 showsthe capacity curves of different charging current rates ofmultistage CC-CV strategy at different temperature and thehigh charging capacity corresponding charging current ratedecreaseswith temperature decreasingThe charging capacityof 1 C is 1162Ah beyond 80 of battery capacity and theother charging rates only need to recover the rest of capacityat 25∘CWhile the high charging rate does not work well withtemperature decreasing the charging current rate with themaximum charging capacity of 028Ah is 05 C at 0∘C Thecharging current rate with the maximum charging capacityof 0266Ah is 03 C at minus10∘C The main capacity is chargedwith a range of charging current rates at low temperatureThe multistage CC-CV can automatically select the optimalcharging current rate for two reasons (1)The cut-off voltagelimit can stop the charging stage of the not optimal chargingcurrent rate (2) The multistage has ten charging currentrates from the maximum 1C to the minimum 01 C ensuringthe charging demands at different temperature points Themultistage CC-CV strategy is a wide temperature rangecharging strategy that keeps high charging capacity and lowcharging period

mined by OCV 119877119901 119877119903 and 119868 As is mentioned above
OCV changes little with temperature decreasing while 119877119903
and 119877
119901increase significantly with temperature decreasing
The increase of 119877119901can be explained by the slow kinetics
of electrochemical reaction influenced by temperature Theconstant current process of CC-CV strategy is limited bycut-off voltage and the charging capacity mainly dependson the constant current process At low temperature 119877

119901and 119877
119903depends on the
battery design parameters and cannot be controlled duringthe charging process The only parameter which can becontrolled is the charging current As proposed in [17] fora two-stage CC-CV strategy the constant current chargingprocess was divided into two stagesThe first stage is chargingbattery with the maximum charging rate until the cut-offvoltage is reached The second stage charging current wasdecreased to half of the maximum charging rate and theterminal voltage can be decreased to extend the constant

As shown in Figures 13-14 the first charging stage of two-stage CC-CV strategy does not last long before the cut-offvoltage is reached for the increase in internal resistance andthe high charging rate The second charging stage decreasesthe charging current rate by 05 C and the terminal voltagedecreases by 023V and keeps on increasing until the cut-offvoltage is reached Unlike the two-stage CC-CV strategy thecurrent decreases by 01 C of the multistage CC-CV strategyThe terminal voltages of 1 Cndash07 C constant current chargingstages increase rapidly with SOC below 22 Terminal volt-ages of 06 Cndash04 C constant current charging stages increaseslower with SOC between 22 and 734 Terminal voltagesof 03 Cndash01 C constant current charging stages increaserapidly again with SOC beyond 734 The terminal voltagecurve of multistage CC-CV indicates that multistage CC-CVstrategy can automatically select the optimal charging currentby cut-off voltage limiting and current decreasing
The charging result at 0∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 1196Ah 0758Ah and 1246Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 82 395 and 89respectively As the main charging rate of two-stage CC-CVstrategy is 05 C higher than 03 C of CC-CV strategy andthe charging rate does not decrease further the two-stageCC-CV strategy has the largest decrease in charging capacitydecrease at 0∘C As multistage CC-CV strategy has 02 C and01 C charging rate lower than 03 C of CC-CV strategy thecharging capacity of multistage CC-CV strategy is higherthan that of CC-CV strategy

53 Different Charging StrategyAnalysis atminus10∘C Figures 16ndash18 show the terminal voltage curves with different chargingstrategies at minus10∘C The terminal voltage of CC-CV strategyreaches cut-off voltage at SOC point of 4867 The termi-nal voltage of the first stage of two-stage CC-CV strategyincreases straightly towards the cut-off voltage and the secondstage only extends the SOC to 3226 All the terminalvoltages of charging current at 1 Cndash06 C of multistage CC-CV strategy increase rapidly to the cut-off voltage with SOCgrowth less than 10 The terminal voltages of chargingcurrent at 05 Cndash01 C increase slower with near 75 of SOCgrowth All the terminal voltage curves indicate that thevoltage increases faster at the lower temperature and highercharging current rate
The charging result at minus10∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 0664Ah 0442Ah and 1169Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 4708 6256 and1453 respectively It can be indicated that the chargingcapacity of CC-CV decreases badly and the first stage oftwo-stage CC-CV strategy oppositely becomes the capacitylimit The multistage CC-CV strategy can keep the chargingcapacity beyond 80 even at minus10∘C

Figure 19 SOC curves of different charging strategies at minus10∘C
CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies are1017min 3938min and 1971min respectively The curve oftwo-stage CC-CV charging strategy shows the obvious dif-ficulty of capacity increasing at such temperature Althoughthe terminal voltage increasing slope of two-stage CC-CVstrategy is close to that of multistage CC-CV strategy thecharging capacity is significantly differentThe comparison ofthe SOC curves shows that the charging period of multistageCC-CV strategy is still the shortest at the same SOC pointThe multistage CC-CV still has maximum charging capacityat minus10∘C
54 Analysis of Multistage CC-CV Strategy Figure 20 showsthe capacity curves of different charging current rates ofmultistage CC-CV strategy at different temperature and thehigh charging capacity corresponding charging current ratedecreaseswith temperature decreasingThe charging capacityof 1 C is 1162Ah beyond 80 of battery capacity and theother charging rates only need to recover the rest of capacityat 25∘CWhile the high charging rate does not work well withtemperature decreasing the charging current rate with themaximum charging capacity of 028Ah is 05 C at 0∘C Thecharging current rate with the maximum charging capacityof 0266Ah is 03 C at minus10∘C The main capacity is chargedwith a range of charging current rates at low temperatureThe multistage CC-CV can automatically select the optimalcharging current rate for two reasons (1)The cut-off voltagelimit can stop the charging stage of the not optimal chargingcurrent rate (2) The multistage has ten charging currentrates from the maximum 1C to the minimum 01 C ensuringthe charging demands at different temperature points Themultistage CC-CV strategy is a wide temperature rangecharging strategy that keeps high charging capacity and lowcharging period

at 25∘C with SOC range beyond 80 are vanished Theincrease in terminal voltage indicates that the normal CC-CVcharging process has been changed by the increase in internalresistance at low temperature
As shown in Figures 13-14 the first charging stage of two-stage CC-CV strategy does not last long before the cut-offvoltage is reached for the increase in internal resistance andthe high charging rate The second charging stage decreasesthe charging current rate by 05 C and the terminal voltagedecreases by 023V and keeps on increasing until the cut-offvoltage is reached Unlike the two-stage CC-CV strategy thecurrent decreases by 01 C of the multistage CC-CV strategyThe terminal voltages of 1 Cndash07 C constant current chargingstages increase rapidly with SOC below 22 Terminal volt-ages of 06 Cndash04 C constant current charging stages increaseslower with SOC between 22 and 734 Terminal voltagesof 03 Cndash01 C constant current charging stages increaserapidly again with SOC beyond 734 The terminal voltagecurve of multistage CC-CV indicates that multistage CC-CVstrategy can automatically select the optimal charging currentby cut-off voltage limiting and current decreasing
The charging result at 0∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 1196Ah 0758Ah and 1246Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 82 395 and 89respectively As the main charging rate of two-stage CC-CVstrategy is 05 C higher than 03 C of CC-CV strategy andthe charging rate does not decrease further the two-stageCC-CV strategy has the largest decrease in charging capacitydecrease at 0∘C As multistage CC-CV strategy has 02 C and01 C charging rate lower than 03 C of CC-CV strategy thecharging capacity of multistage CC-CV strategy is higherthan that of CC-CV strategy

53 Different Charging StrategyAnalysis atminus10∘C Figures 16ndash18 show the terminal voltage curves with different chargingstrategies at minus10∘C The terminal voltage of CC-CV strategyreaches cut-off voltage at SOC point of 4867 The termi-nal voltage of the first stage of two-stage CC-CV strategyincreases straightly towards the cut-off voltage and the secondstage only extends the SOC to 3226 All the terminalvoltages of charging current at 1 Cndash06 C of multistage CC-CV strategy increase rapidly to the cut-off voltage with SOCgrowth less than 10 The terminal voltages of chargingcurrent at 05 Cndash01 C increase slower with near 75 of SOCgrowth All the terminal voltage curves indicate that thevoltage increases faster at the lower temperature and highercharging current rate
The charging result at minus10∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 0664Ah 0442Ah and 1169Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 4708 6256 and1453 respectively It can be indicated that the chargingcapacity of CC-CV decreases badly and the first stage oftwo-stage CC-CV strategy oppositely becomes the capacitylimit The multistage CC-CV strategy can keep the chargingcapacity beyond 80 even at minus10∘C

at 25∘C with SOC range beyond 80 are vanished Theincrease in terminal voltage indicates that the normal CC-CVcharging process has been changed by the increase in internalresistance at low temperature
As shown in Figures 13-14 the first charging stage of two-stage CC-CV strategy does not last long before the cut-offvoltage is reached for the increase in internal resistance andthe high charging rate The second charging stage decreasesthe charging current rate by 05 C and the terminal voltagedecreases by 023V and keeps on increasing until the cut-offvoltage is reached Unlike the two-stage CC-CV strategy thecurrent decreases by 01 C of the multistage CC-CV strategyThe terminal voltages of 1 Cndash07 C constant current chargingstages increase rapidly with SOC below 22 Terminal volt-ages of 06 Cndash04 C constant current charging stages increaseslower with SOC between 22 and 734 Terminal voltagesof 03 Cndash01 C constant current charging stages increaserapidly again with SOC beyond 734 The terminal voltagecurve of multistage CC-CV indicates that multistage CC-CVstrategy can automatically select the optimal charging currentby cut-off voltage limiting and current decreasing
The charging result at 0∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 1196Ah 0758Ah and 1246Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 82 395 and 89respectively As the main charging rate of two-stage CC-CVstrategy is 05 C higher than 03 C of CC-CV strategy andthe charging rate does not decrease further the two-stageCC-CV strategy has the largest decrease in charging capacitydecrease at 0∘C As multistage CC-CV strategy has 02 C and01 C charging rate lower than 03 C of CC-CV strategy thecharging capacity of multistage CC-CV strategy is higherthan that of CC-CV strategy

are 1834min 687min and 148min The curve tendencyof multistage CC-CV charging strategy shows the obviouscapacity increasing speed although the speed is sloweddown for the current decrease at later period As the dottedline shows the charging period of multistage CC-CV isshorter than that of two-stage CC-CV strategy with the samecharging SOC of 5532 The multistage CC-CV still has themaximum charging capacity and minimum charging periodat 0∘C
53 Different Charging StrategyAnalysis atminus10∘C Figures 16ndash18 show the terminal voltage curves with different chargingstrategies at minus10∘C The terminal voltage of CC-CV strategyreaches cut-off voltage at SOC point of 4867 The termi-nal voltage of the first stage of two-stage CC-CV strategyincreases straightly towards the cut-off voltage and the secondstage only extends the SOC to 3226 All the terminalvoltages of charging current at 1 Cndash06 C of multistage CC-CV strategy increase rapidly to the cut-off voltage with SOCgrowth less than 10 The terminal voltages of chargingcurrent at 05 Cndash01 C increase slower with near 75 of SOCgrowth All the terminal voltage curves indicate that thevoltage increases faster at the lower temperature and highercharging current rate
The charging result at minus10∘C shows that the capacities ofCC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV chargingstrategies are 0664Ah 0442Ah and 1169Ah respectivelyCompared with the charging result at 25∘C the chargingcapacities of CC-CV two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies decrease by 4708 6256 and1453 respectively It can be indicated that the chargingcapacity of CC-CV decreases badly and the first stage oftwo-stage CC-CV strategy oppositely becomes the capacitylimit The multistage CC-CV strategy can keep the chargingcapacity beyond 80 even at minus10∘C

Figure 19 SOC curves of different charging strategies at minus10∘C
CC-CV and multistage CC-CV charging strategies are1017min 3938min and 1971min respectively The curve oftwo-stage CC-CV charging strategy shows the obvious dif-ficulty of capacity increasing at such temperature Althoughthe terminal voltage increasing slope of two-stage CC-CVstrategy is close to that of multistage CC-CV strategy thecharging capacity is significantly differentThe comparison ofthe SOC curves shows that the charging period of multistageCC-CV strategy is still the shortest at the same SOC pointThe multistage CC-CV still has maximum charging capacityat minus10∘C
54 Analysis of Multistage CC-CV Strategy Figure 20 showsthe capacity curves of different charging current rates ofmultistage CC-CV strategy at different temperature and thehigh charging capacity corresponding charging current ratedecreaseswith temperature decreasingThe charging capacityof 1 C is 1162Ah beyond 80 of battery capacity and theother charging rates only need to recover the rest of capacityat 25∘CWhile the high charging rate does not work well withtemperature decreasing the charging current rate with themaximum charging capacity of 028Ah is 05 C at 0∘C Thecharging current rate with the maximum charging capacityof 0266Ah is 03 C at minus10∘C The main capacity is chargedwith a range of charging current rates at low temperatureThe multistage CC-CV can automatically select the optimalcharging current rate for two reasons (1)The cut-off voltagelimit can stop the charging stage of the not optimal chargingcurrent rate (2) The multistage has ten charging currentrates from the maximum 1C to the minimum 01 C ensuringthe charging demands at different temperature points Themultistage CC-CV strategy is a wide temperature rangecharging strategy that keeps high charging capacity and lowcharging period

It can be seen from the presentation above that the chargingcapacity of the CC-CV strategy can be only 4847 of the
