1. A method of estimating the internal temperature of an electrochemical device, said method comprising:

  • (a) exciting said electrochemical device with a driving profile;

    (b) acquiring voltage and current data from said electrochemical device, in response to said driving profile;

    (c) calculating an impulse response from said current and voltage data and time derivatives thereof, using a recursive or matrix-based technique;

    (d) calculating an impedance spectrum of said electrochemical device from said impulse response using an impulse response model;

    (e) calculating a state-of-charge of said electrochemical device; and

    (f) estimating an internal temperature of said electrochemical device based on a temperature-impedance-state-of-charge relationship characterizing said electrochemical device.
