The use of high-capacity batteries as the battery pack of electric vehicles is the current development trend. In order to better design battery packages and battery management systems and develop related battery estimation technology, the related characteristics of high capacity battery cells need to be studied in depth. Capacity and pulse tests of batteries at different temperatures are carried out in this paper. Through these experimental data, the electrical characteristics of different parameters of the high capacity battery, such as capacity characteristic data, internal resistance characteristic data, OCV-SOC characteristic relation curve, power data and temperature rise are analyzed. The specific parameters of the battery in the second order equivalent circuit model are obtained by using the off-line parameter identification method. These parameters results can be used as comparison data and reference data. It is beneficial to the on-line parameter identification of battery model and the estimation of battery state, so as to shorten the development time and improve the quality of the development.
