Questions this course answers

What can cross the separator during normal operation?

The separator permits ion transport while preventing electrode contact.

Where do electrons travel during discharge?

The external path lets electrons perform electrical work.

What does charging do?

An external source restores lithium to the anode and chemical potential.

Why does internal resistance matter?

Current through resistance dissipates energy and lowers terminal voltage.

What does a battery-management system monitor?

Management electronics keep cells within compatible safe conditions.
