1. A method for determining a self-discharge current comprising the steps of:
- providing a lithium-ion battery provided with a positive electrode, a negative electrode comprising a lithium ion insertion material, and a solid type electrolyte arranged between the positive and negative electrodes, the lithium ion insertion material being in direct contact with the solid type electrolyte,charging the lithium-ion battery until a metal lithium layer is formed between the solid type electrolyte and the negative electrode,measuring the open-circuit voltage of the lithium-ion battery at two moments without connecting the battery between the two moments, anddetermining the self-discharge current from the variation of the measured voltage between the two moments.

Abstract
A method for determining the self-discharge current of a lithium-ion battery provided with a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte arranged between the positive and negative electrodes includes 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, and determining the self-discharge current from the variation of the voltage measured between the two moments.

9. 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 a solid type electrolyte arranged between the positive and negative electrodes, comprising the steps of:
-
providing the lithium-ion battery provided with a positive electrode, a negative electrode comprising a lithium ion insertion material, and a solid type electrolyte arranged between the positive and negative electrodes, the lithium ion insertion material being in direct contact with the solid type electrolyte, charging the lithium-ion battery so that a significant quantity of Li+ ions is transferred to the negative electrode during a short time period, until a metal lithium layer is formed between the solid type electrolyte and the negative electrode, measuring the open-circuit voltage of the lithium-ion battery at two moments without connecting the battery between the two moments, and determining the self-discharge current from the variation of the measured voltage between the two moments. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
