J3042_201502 Measuring Properties of Li-Battery Electrolyte

As the market for Li-batteries continues to grow due to the evolution of motive and stationary power applications, new electrolyte concepts are being proposed for incorporation into these batteries. There are a variety of properties that could be measured and a variety of methodologies to perform testing. This Recommended Practice (RP) provides a set of test methods for the characterization of the Li-battery electrolyte, which if used consistently across different materials, will facilitate the comparison of the properties of Li-battery electrolyte. An electrolyte is defined as the medium that provides ion transport between the positive and negative electrodes of a cell. (SAE J1715/2)
