Predicting the State of Power of Iron-based li-ion 2 Battery Pack including the Constraint of Maximum 3 Operating Temperature
Wei Xie etal.
Authors nicely reported LFP-ion battery pack and very useful information to battery community and industry. The following minor revisions are needed to publish above in Electronics
- Few minor English errors to be corrected in formulas etc (li-ion it should be Li-ion
- Please kindly comments possible reasons in spikes in aged battery backs, which is due to electrolyte dry up or any other materials structural modifications
- referee would like to known reasons for slightly lower charge –discharge potentails for ex : LiFePO4/Li ( 3.5V) , if graphite cells show : around 3.2V , or which is due to high current rates, Please add few lines with LiFePO4/Li (Materials Research Bulletin 66(2015) 71 and LiFePO4/graphite coin cells data vs. Battery pack .
- In the introduction add few 1st para about LIBs , history
Li-ion batteries became the battery of choice for all kind of portable electronics and electric vehicles (EVs) due to their high energy density (refs 1-3), below reviews to be included (ex : Materials 13 (8) (2020)1884), and, Nanomaterials 10 (8)(2020) 1606, Chemical Reviews 113(2013)5364
- Overall Nice work and publishable after minion revisions

Reviewer 2:
Comment 1: Few minor English errors to be corrected in formulas etc (li-ion it should be Li-ion)
Reply 1: We thank the reviewer for his/her careful review. All the errors have been addressed.
Comment 2: Please kindly comments possible reasons in spikes in aged battery backs, which is due to electrolyte dry up or any other materials structural modifications.
Reply 2: At the beginning of Section 5.2, battery aging has been discussed.
Comment 3: referee would like to known reasons for slightly lower charge –discharge potentails for ex : LiFePO4/Li ( 3.5V) , if graphite cells show : around 3.2V , or which is due to high current rates, Please add few lines with LiFePO4/Li (Materials Research Bulletin 66(2015) 71 and LiFePO4/graphite coin cells data vs. Battery pack .
Reply 3: We are so sorry that all the authors are majoring in electrical, automation and information, so we don’t have very much knowledge on battery internal principles. Nevertheless, the mentioned paper has been cited in the manuscript.
Comment 4: In the introduction add few 1st para about LIBs , history
Li-ion batteries became the battery of choice for all kind of portable electronics and electric vehicles (EVs) due to their high energy density (refs 1-3), below reviews to be included (ex : Materials 13 (8) (2020)1884), and, Nanomaterials 10 (8)(2020) 1606, Chemical Reviews 113(2013)5364
Reply 4: Two of the mentioned papers have been cited in the revised manuscript.
Comment 5: Overall Nice work and publishable after minion revisions
Reply 5: Thank you for the suggestions in improving our manuscript.
Reviewer 3 Report
This manuscript deals with operating temperature in li ion battery packs. A state of power prediction method restricted by both electrical and thermal constraints is realized. Experimental verifications on an li-ion battery pack suggest the proposed prediction method can give reliability and rationality against diverse time durations, temperatures and aging states comparing with other methods.
The manuscript is well written. The Introduction and Conclusion sections are clear and concise. The manuscript is publishable in Electronics. Maybe, the authors should note that the acronym HPPC is not defined in the Abstract.
