Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for recovering the capacity of a lithium ion battery determines whether or not the cause of degradation is a decrease in lithium ions; calculates the amount of the decrease in lithium ions; and connects a lithium ion replenishing electrode to a positive electrode or a negative electrode to release lithium ions corresponding to the amount of the decrease from the lithium ion replenishing electrode, thereby replenishing the lithium ion battery with lithium ions for recovery of the battery capacity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for recovering capacity of a lithium ion battery including a positive electrode containing a first active material and a second active material which is base in terms of electrode potential as compared with the first active material, a negative electrode, an electrolytic solution, and a lithium ion replenishing electrode for releasing lithium ions, the method comprising: a determination step of comparing charge/discharge characteristic…
