European Foreword
This document (CEN/CLC/TR 17603-20-02:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee
CEN/CLC/JTC 5 “Space”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
It is highlighted that this technical report does not contain any requirement but only collection of data
or descriptions and guidelines about how to organize and perform the work in support of EN 16603-
20.
This Technical report (CEN/CLC/TR 17603-20-02:2021) originates from ECSS-E-HB-20-02A.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association.
This document has been developed to cover specifically space systems and has therefore precedence
over any TR covering the same scope but with a wider domain of applicability (e.g.: aerospace).
Introduction
Energy storage is required aboard almost all spacecraft. Batteries are the most common energy storage
device. Batteries provide electrical power when power from solar arrays is temporarily unavailable or
insufficient due to eclipses, payload peak loads, before solar panels are deployed or in case of
emergencies or special manoeuvres. Batteries are tested in order to assess their performance and their
suitability to meet mission requirements. This issue of the document does not include the battery
management subsystem testing.
In order for a new cell or battery system to be accepted for a spacecraft mission, it is essential not only
to have hardware which is qualified for a good beginning of life performance but also to have
hardware whose performance changes with cycle life are well understood and predictable by
appropriate models. For this reason the availability of comprehensive test data is very important.
The present handbook aims at providing practical and helpful guidelines for Li-ion cell and battery
testing (testing conditions, required information, reporting) during the development and
qualification of space equipment and systems. This document has been derived from requirements
from ECSS-E-ST-20C and its purpose is to support the use of ECSS-E-ST-20C.
This Handbook gathers battery testing experience, know-how and lessons-learnt from the European
Space Community.

3.2 Terms specific to the present document
3.2.1 accelerated test
test designed to shorten cycle life test to estimate the average cell or battery lifetime at normal
operating conditions
NOTE Temperature, SoC, cycle profile are sources of test acceleration.
3.2.2 activation
introduction of electrolyte in an assembled cell at the manufacturing facility during production
NOTE This is used to define the start of the cell shelf-life. The formation
process is also part of the activation.
3.2.3 aging
permanent change in characteristics and performance due to repeated use or the passage of time
NOTE Permanent changes include loss of capacity and energy, increase in
resistance.
3.2.4 battery
one or more cells (or modules) electrically connected to provide the required operating voltage,
current and energy storage levels
3.2.5 battery management subsystem
electronics circuitry preventing cell or battery operation outside of specified voltage, current and
temperature ranges, and managing cell-to-cell unbalance
NOTE It also includes cell or module of cells bypass circuits when
deemed necessary by FMECA outcomes.
3.2.6 calendar loss
permanent degradation of electrical performance due to time after activation
NOTE Reversible effects such as self-discharge are not included in the
calendar loss.
3.2.7 capacity
amount of charge available expressed in ampere-hours (Ah)
NOTE 1 Cell or battery (Ah) = ∫ Id.dt. It is the integral of the discharge
current, between start of discharge and cut-off voltage or other
