Electrolyte Fill Usage Adjustment with baseline electrolyte fill per cell of 17 g/cell: a worked example

This worked example runs the electrolyte fill usage adjustment numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: baseline electrolyte fill per cell of 17 g/cell instead of the typical 34 g/cell. Estimate adjusted electrolyte fill volume after applying a correction factor to the standard fill amount.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Baseline electrolyte fill per cell: 17 g/cell (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 34)
  • Electrolyte correction factor: 1.04 x (held at the documented default)
  • Target electrolyte fill per cell: 35 g/cell (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Adjusted electrolyte fill = baseline electrolyte fill × electrolyte correction factor.
  • Adjusted electrolyte fill works out to 17.68 g/cell at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Fill gap to target works out to -17.32 g/cell at these inputs.
  • Baseline electrolyte fill works out to 17 g/cell at these inputs.
  • Electrolyte correction factor works out to 1.04 x at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where baseline electrolyte fill per cell sits at 34 g/cell and the headline result is 35.36 g/cell, this scenario comes in 50% below the baseline at 17.68 g/cell.
  • Use it after a wetting study, dosing-pump recalibration, or a formate/viscosity change when you need to retarget the fill weight for a cell format. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Adjusted electrolyte fill: 17.68 g/cell (headline result)
  • Fill gap to target: -17.32 g/cell
  • Baseline electrolyte fill: 17 g/cell
  • Electrolyte correction factor: 1.04 x
