Assumptions & limitations

  • Ideal constant-current, approximately linear GCD discharge. Use the discharge voltage window after the initial iR drop; do not include that drop in ΔV or Δt.
  • Mass basis is the mass you enter, with no factor-of-four correction. For device energy/power, use two-electrode full-cell data and total active mass of both electrodes. Three-electrode electrode data is not a device-level energy estimate. Nonlinear/pseudocapacitive discharge requires integrating I∫Vdt; packaging and inactive mass are excluded.
