One way to efficiently deliver the battery energy to the load when the battery reaches the deeply discharged state is to reduce the system load so that the energy dissipated by the battery internal impedance can be minimized and improve the battery discharge efficiency.
As the battery discharges, a progressively lower voltage is presented to the system. If the system can function down to E or F, it’s making full use of the battery’s energy supply. If the system stops functioning in the C to D range, the full capacity of the battery isn’t being used.
As a battery pack designer it is important to understand the cell in detail so that you can interface with it optimally. It is interesting to look at the Function of the Cell Can or Enclosure and to think about the relationship between the Mechanical, Electrical and Thermal design.
Discharge is considered complete at the knee of the curve (E). Depending on its chemistry, discharge beyond E can sometimes damage the battery. Many rechargeable battery management systems protectively cut off at E to avoid this, though single-use batteries are often used down to F.
Batteries expand and contract during charge and discharge. Potting a battery is not a good idea, unless there is some provision made for this dimension change. This can be compensated for by including a foam pad to absorb the stress of expansion.
During the battery discharging period, the Li-Ion battery voltage discharges from 4.2 V at fully charged state to 3.0 V at the end of discharge voltage (EDV). The battery voltage reaches the EDV earlier under higher discharge current than under lower discharge current due to the battery internal impedance effect.
