Abstract
A method is provided for determining a state variable such as aging of an electrochemical cell comprising an electrode plate group, that includes analyzing at least a portion of a response spectrum of the electrochemical cell to application of an electromagnetic wave in a frequency ranging from 10 kHz to 10 GHz, so as to determine an indicator of the value of the state variable.
