About this document

Battery Depassivation for Prismatic Cells by Willy Duran is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Lithium ion batteries are used to power subsurface and surface gauges. Their capacity is measured in amp-hours and consumption can be used to estimate battery life. Batteries come in different sizes and use a 7-pin connector. Proper storage, handling, and safety procedures should be followed to prevent overheating, venting, or explosions. Batteries may become passivated if inactive and require a depassivation process to reactivate them by applying a load to burn off insulating chemical layers.
