Abstract
A system and method are disclosed of using a calorimeter apparatus for measuring lumped and two dimensional heat generation of a battery cell having a battery cell surface. The apparatus can include a first thermoelectric assembly, a second thermoelectric assembly, and at least two heat flux sensors positioned between the first and second thermoelectric assemblies. The first and second thermoelectric assemblies can be operable to selectively receive the battery cell between the first and second thermoelectric assemblies and substantially maintain the temperature of the battery cell surface in conformity with a predetermined temperature profile. When the battery cell is positioned between the first and second thermoelectric assemblies, the at least two heat flux sensors are operable to measure heat generation rates of the battery cell at corresponding portions of the battery cell surface.
