Type:

float

cell.ragone.const_2#

Second constant in Ragone curve fit [1/(Wh/kg)] (default: -0.00478 kg/Wh)

Type:

float

cell.ragone.lower_bound#

Minimum specific energy on Ragone plot [Wh/kg] (default: 300 Wh/kg)

Notes

Lithium-sulfur batteries offer higher specific energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries but typically have lower power density. The Ragone plot parameters define the relationship between specific power and energy.
