Abstract

A method for charging an energy storage device having a core with an electrolyte. The method including: (a) obtaining one or more of a measurement or approximation of a temperature of the electrolyte; (b) determining whether the temperature obtained in step (a) is below a predetermined threshold considered to at least reduce the charging efficiency of the energy storage device; and (c) inputting one or more of a predetermined voltage and current input to terminals of the energy storage device causing internal components of the energy storage device to generate heat if the temperature is determined to be less than the predetermined temperature. Similarly, a method for discharging an energy storage device having an electrolyte is provided.
