Battery Cycle-Life Scenario Analyzer — Compare Operating Strategies
Put different cycling strategies side by side and see how depth of discharge and annual cycling change modeled energy throughput.
Common battery assumptions
Compare three scenarios
Scenario A · Light Cycling
Scenario B · Balanced
Scenario C · Heavy Cycling
Why cycle-life comparisons are useful
Two battery strategies can use the same battery but process very different amounts of energy. Depth of discharge and cycling frequency are therefore useful variables when comparing operating plans.
Annual throughput
Annual throughput is capacity multiplied by depth of discharge and annual cycle count.
Lifetime modeled throughput
Multiplying annual throughput by the selected analysis period provides a scenario comparison. It is not a degradation prediction by itself.
What the tool does not assume
It does not claim that one chemistry has a particular cycle life or that a given depth of discharge guarantees a specific number of years.
Frequently asked questions
Can annual cycles be zero?
Yes. The scenario then produces zero cycling throughput.
Does more throughput always mean faster failure?
Not necessarily in a simple linear way. Actual aging depends on several interacting conditions.
