This scenario introduces the battery's functionality with a simple scenario where the battery is discharged in intervals until the state of charge is low and the simulation is terminated.

The battery cell is connected to a fixed temperature source and a load current. The load is determined by a pulse, pulse1.

Study a Discharge Cycle

To simulate a discharge cycle, click the Simulate button:

Next, a preferred Model plot will automatically be displayed. This plot should look like this:

The plots show how the battery voltage varies throughout the discharge cycle and the state of charge constantly declines until it reaches the threshold value by which the simulation is terminated.

This model is one of five scenarios using the battery cell. For the other scenarios, see the Battery package.
