Predicting the impact of formation protocols on battery lifetime immediately after manufacturing

Increasing the speed of battery formation can significantly lower lithium-ion battery manufacturing costs. However, adopting faster formation protocols in practical manufacturing settings is challenging due to a lack of inexpensive, rapid diagnostic signals that can inform possible impacts to long-term battery lifetime. This work identifies the cell resistance measured at low states of charge as an early-life diagnostic feature for screening new formation protocols. We show that this signal correlates to cycle life and improves the accuracy of data-driven battery lifetime prediction models. The signal is obtainable at the end of the manufacturing line, takes seconds to acquire, and does not require specialized test equipment. We explore a physical connection between this resistance signal and the quantity of lithium consumed during formation, suggesting that the signal may be broadly applicable for evaluating any manufacturing process change that could impact the total lithium consumed during formation.
