Title: Energy storage cell qualification and related systems, methods, and devices

Abstract

Energy storage cell qualification and related systems, methods, and devices are disclosed. A method of qualifying rechargeable battery cells includes taking measurements on the rechargeable battery cells, determining specific capacity distributions of the rechargeable battery cells as a function of a number of discharge cycles based on the measurements, determining one or more specific capacity thresholds to separate the specific capacity distributions of the rechargeable battery cells into two or more classifications, and qualifying the rechargeable battery cells into the two or more classifications based, at least in part, on the specific capacity distributions and the one or more specific capacity thresholds. A method of implementing rechargeable battery cells into product manufacturing and qualifying the rechargeable battery cells, and deploying those of the rechargeable battery cells qualified into a first classification of the two or more classifications into the product.
