Randomized Battery Usage 2: Room Temperature Random Walk

This dataset is part of a series of datasets, where batteries are continuously cycled with randomly generated current profiles. Reference charging and discharging cycles are also performed after a fixed interval of randomized usage to provide reference benchmarks for battery state of health. In this dataset, four 18650 Li-ion batteries (Identified as RW3, RW4, RW5 and RW6) were continuously operated by repeatedly charging them to 4.2V and then discharging them to 3.2V using a randomized sequence of discharging currents between 0.5A and 4A. This type of discharging profile is referred to here as random walk (RW) discharging. After every fifty RW cycles a series of reference charging and discharging cycles were performed in order to provide reference benchmarks for battery state health.
