The battery operating window refers to the safe and optimal range of operating conditions—including voltage, temperature, current, and state of charge (SOC)—within which a battery can function efficiently, reliably, and without degradation or safety risks.
Importance of the Operating Window:
Ensures cell chemistry stability
Extends cycle life and calendar life
Reduces the risk of thermal runaway or fire
Maintains consistent performance in varying environments
Enables effective battery management system (BMS) design and control logic
