1. A method for evaluating a capacity of secondary batteries of a same group produced under same conditions, the method comprising:
- (a) partially charging the secondary batteries to have a charge capacity of at least 60% with a voltage less than a full charge voltage;
(b) measuring an impedance spectrum for the batteries partially charged;
(c) determining specific internal resistance components from an equivalent circuit model fitted from the measured impedance spectrum to perform a numerical operation; and
(d) comparing the numerical operation value of the resistance components with an initial discharge capacity graph of the batteries to evaluate an initial discharge capacity of unknown batteries of the same group.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for evaluating an initial capacity of secondary batteries and, more specifically, to a method for evaluating an initial capacity of secondary batteries that involves mathematical operation of specific internal resistance components obtained from an equivalent circuit model of an impedance spectrum measured for a short time period instead of using direct discharge characteristics, thereby allowing selection of batteries having a different initial discharge characteristic.
