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

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 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

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

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

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

5 Result and Discussion

51 Different Charging Strategy Analysis at 25∘C Figures 8ndash10 show the terminal voltage curves with different chargingstrategies at 25∘C The terminal voltage of CC-CV strategyincreases to 325V at the low SOC range of 0ndash10while theterminal voltages of two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV strategies increase to near 34 V The terminal voltage ofCC-CV strategy increases to 34 V with SOC reaching 90and has a huge increase to 36 V at the end of chargingThe terminal voltages of two-stage CC-CV and multistageCC-CV strategies increase to 36 V with SOC of 85 Withcurrent decreasing the terminal voltage of two-stage CC-CVstrategy decreases to 349V and increases to 36 V again withSOC increasing of 7 Unlike two-stage CC-CV strategythe terminal voltage of multistage CC-CV strategy has moredecreasing times to extend the charging SOC to a higher level

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

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

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

5 Result and Discussion

51 Different Charging Strategy Analysis at 25∘C Figures 8ndash10 show the terminal voltage curves with different chargingstrategies at 25∘C The terminal voltage of CC-CV strategyincreases to 325V at the low SOC range of 0ndash10while theterminal voltages of two-stage CC-CV and multistage CC-CV strategies increase to near 34 V The terminal voltage ofCC-CV strategy increases to 34 V with SOC reaching 90and has a huge increase to 36 V at the end of chargingThe terminal voltages of two-stage CC-CV and multistageCC-CV strategies increase to 36 V with SOC of 85 Withcurrent decreasing the terminal voltage of two-stage CC-CVstrategy decreases to 349V and increases to 36 V again withSOC increasing of 7 Unlike two-stage CC-CV strategythe terminal voltage of multistage CC-CV strategy has moredecreasing times to extend the charging SOC to a higher level

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

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

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

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

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

6 Conclusion

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