Abstract The need for a quick yet informative technique for diagnosing the lithium-ion batteries is escalating. Conventional impedance-based diagnosis methods are usually time-demanding for a complete electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement and involve complicated calculations to extract battery information, which therefore have limited applications in battery monitoring. In this study, we propose a multi-point impedance technique, involving impedance measurement on three characteristic frequency points and being able to separate ohmic, contact and solid electrolyte interphase resistances. The characteristic frequency points are calibrated using distribution of relaxation time method. This multi-point impedance technique holds potential for large-scale high-throughput battery monitoring and screening.
