Very little published data exist for the lithium ion chemistry showing that it will meet the rigors of GEO or LEO satellites. This paper reveals that the graphite/LiNiO2 chemistry has achieved 133,000 discharges at 30% DOD in 18650 cells. Full scale 40 Ah cell data predicts ∼ 4000 cycles for 60% DOD and above 100,000 cycles for 20 and 30% DOD.
