DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nAccurately measuring lithium-ion battery performance is m
 ore challenging—and more critical—than it first appears. Small measure
 ment errors can lead to incorrect conclusions about state of charge\, heal
 th\, and long-term reliability.\n\nThis presentation takes a practical\, e
 ngineering-focused look at how key battery parameters are measured\, what 
 they really tell you\, and where common methods fall short.\n\nTopics incl
 ude:\n\n- Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) and its real-world limitations\n- Sel
 f-discharge: what it reveals about cell quality\n- ACIR vs DCIR: lab measu
 rements vs real operating conditions\n- Electrochemical Impedance Spectros
 copy (EIS) fundamentals\n- Capacity measurement and dominant sources of er
 ror\n- The impact of temperature\, relaxation effects\, and instrumentatio
 n accuracy\n\nWe will also explore:\n\n- Why traditional measurement techn
 iques can be misleading\n- Faster and more effective methods for identifyi
 ng weak or abnormal cells\n- Practical insights you can apply immediately 
 in design\, testing\, and evaluation\n\nWhether you&#39;re working in product 
 design\, manufacturing\, or testing\, this session will help you better un
 derstand what your battery measurements are really telling you—and what 
 they’re not.\n\nSpeaker(s): Bob Zollo\n\nAgenda: \n7:00 PM Networking an
