Temperature affects the battery voltage response, and it is essential to take this influence into consideration for diagnosis purposes, as it could be misinterpreted for degradation. Temperature affects cell kinetics, and a good proxy to emulate this impact is to use electrode data at different C rates. This work further validates this concept by analyzing the relationship between temperature and rate at the electrode level for commercial graphite//LiFePO4 and (silicon, graphite)//LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 cells. It will be shown that excellent emulation accuracy for both the voltage response and the capacity retention can be obtained for temperatures varying between −14 °C and 55 °C.
