We present an extensive analysis of Li-ion battery ageing via Arrhenius plots. The V-shaped plots show minima at optimum temperature corresponding to the longest cycle-life. V-shape signifies crossover between two dominating mechanisms – solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth in high range and lithium deposition low range.
