Dynamic Cycling versus Constant-current Cycling EV lifetime is often assessed with static constant-power aging tests, while real driving is dynamic with long rests. This work shows such tests can overstate degradation because a large part of the measured “aging” is reversible.
If this reversible part isn’t separated out, aging tests and models will underestimate real-world lifetime and mislead design and warranty decisions. Four 18650 NCA/Si-Gr cases (static vs. dynamic urban/highway; same average power; 60% DoD) show faster apparent capacity loss and resistance rise under static cycling, attributed to reversible anode lithiation/electrolyte inhomogeneity. After ~15 months low-SOC rest, cells recover ≈52% of the capacity loss and ≈66% of the resistance rise, informing accelerated-test designs that incorporate rest and separate apparent from true aging.
Static cycling can overstate degradation, since long low-SOC rest reverses a large fraction of observed capacity/resistance changes.
