Gan, Naifeng (author), Sun, S.Z. (author), Zhang, Zhaosheng (author), Xu, Shiqi (author), Liu, Peng (author), Qin, Z. (author)The overdischarge can significantly degrade a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery's lifetime. Therefore, it is important to detect the overdischarge and prevent severe damage of the Li-ion battery. Depending on the battery technology, there is a minimum voltage (cutoff voltage) that the battery is allowed to be discharged in common practice. Once the...journal article 2022
