This manual defines a series of tests to characterize aspects of the performance or life behavior of
batteries for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) applications. Tests are defined based on the
Vehicle Technologies Program targets for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, though it is anticipated
these tests may be generally useful for testing energy storage devices for plug-in hybrid vehicles. The
test procedures in this manual are directly applicable to complete battery systems. However, most
