1. A method for determining the self-discharge current of a lithium-ion battery provided with a positive electrode, a negative electrode comprising a lithium ion insertion material, and an electrolyte arranged between the positive and negative electrodes,comprising the steps of:

  • charging the battery until a metal lithium layer is formed between the electrolyte and the negative electrode,measuring the open-circuit voltage of the battery at two moments, anddetermining the self-discharge current from the variation of the measured voltage between the two moments.
