A method of diagnosing degradation of an electrode active material for a secondary battery including obtaining a first differential curve (dQ/dV) by differentiating an initial charge/discharge curve obtained by performing first charging and first discharging of the lithium secondary battery in a voltage range of 2.5 V to 4.2 V, and obtaining a second differential curve (dQ/dV) by differentiating a charge/discharge curve obtained by performing second charging and second discharging of the lithium secondary battery in a voltage range of 2.5 V to 4.2 V, and diagnosing whether a beta phase of the positive electrode active material has been formed by comparing maximum discharge peak values of the first differential curve and the second differential curve.
Tracking device with mode and battery life
A tracking device with a screen that displays the mode of the tracking device on a screen. The device modes may include sleep mode, monitor mode, locate mode, and emergency mode. Each mode represents a frequency of transmission and which can be changed by the software developer or by the consumer in their software application. The sleep mode will be the fewest frequency pings and may be the mode in which the tracking device is operating while it is in a geofence. Monitor mode will be a higher frequency of pings and a locate mode may be yet a further increased number of pings per given time interval. The emergency mode will be entered when, for example, the pet is outside of the geofence and the owner needs to receive an intense number of pings to assure proper location, especially if the pet is moving. A charge may be made to the customer to enable readouts showing the mode and battery life left, and that the revenues derived from the customer, and in the case where the tracking device is used for pets, may be shared with the pet store. The user will be able to know the battery life remaining in any of the modes. The software application will communicate with the tracking device to change the frequency of the pings.
