Peak figures come from the highest current Batemo measured the cell to sustain briefly; continuous figures use the lower current it can sustain without interruption. Both stop at the same 2.5 V / 80 °C condition as the discharge measurements. Full definition

CELL
Discharged from a full charge at a constant C/10 current and 25 °C, until the cell reaches 2.5 V or its surface reaches 80 °C. Nominal is the value from the datasheet; measured, gravimetric and volumetric are what Batemo recorded during that discharge. Full definition

The charge-averaged voltage across the same C/10 discharge — the exchanged energy divided by the exchanged charge, not a single number picked from a curve. It is a measured mean, not the nominal voltage printed on a datasheet. Full definition
In Batemo Insights
The table above gives you one capacity number. Below is what Highstar LFpP-46145-28ER(B) does under load — measured on our own test bench, across many operating points and several ambient temperatures. Every cell in the library is measured under identical conditions, which is what makes them comparable at all. At 1C — the one rate measured on every cell — usable energy is 87% to 99% of what the same cell delivers at C/10.
All three panels below use the same 14 measured operating points, at 25 °C ambient.

The graph visualizes how much energy the cell can deliver when operated at different powers.
usable energy / Wh
discharge power / W
thermal
14 pts · 25 °C · lin
The greater the thermal losses, the more the cell heats up, resulting in higher depleted power.

The more power the cell supplies, the shorter it can deliver the power.

Every cell is a compromise. This cell's own measurements point to three challenges you will face with it. Each one shows the number behind it and where Batemo helps you solve it.

the challenge
The datasheet says 28.00 Ah. But how much does it deliver in your system?
Looking at energy and power alone is not enough. Your duty cycle is neither C/10 nor 1 C, and somewhere in between the ranking between two cells can invert.

the challenge
I am asking this cell for 100.0 A all day, out of 598.7 g. Where does that heat go?
A surface temperature is not the temperature that decides. What no sensor on a finished cell can show is the temperature inside it — and the gap between the two grows exactly where it matters.

the challenge
This capacity describes the cell at the beginning of its life. How does it change under different operating conditions?
A cycle test tells you what happened under that one test. It does not tell you which mechanism took the capacity away, and it does not tell you what to change.
LifetimeThese three are the challenges this cell's own numbers raise. Which of them decides your product is something only your load profile can say — and that is the next question, not this one.
Every cell in the library is measured before a model is built from it. The mean accuracies are published as soon as the Batemo Cell Model is finished.
Every curve was recorded from a full state of charge, in a climate chamber under free convection. The model is built on these.
Nearest by measured specific energy and power — the two axes of the Ragone map above. Not by chemistry, and not a recommendation. Other numbers, like continuous current, can still differ a lot.

Same build · 26% apart
Ring percentages measure overall distance — energy and power combined. The ×-numbers on the dashed box measure just one axis: a point on that edge has that many times this cell's own specific energy or power.

Internal resistance
One number on a datasheet. Every loss in your pack starts here.
Impedance spectrum (EIS)
An EIS curve is not a number. It is the input to a model.
Heat generation and thermal properties
Heat decides the enclosure. It is the number that is almost never on the datasheet.
Capacity loss after formation
A cell gives up capacity before it ever reaches your customer.
Spread across a measured batch
One measured cell is one cell. A pack is a batch.
