    Attributes
    ----------
    cell.specific_energy : float
        Energy capacity per unit mass [J/kg] (default: 500 Wh/kg)
        
    cell.specific_power : float
        Maximum power output per unit mass [W/kg] (default: 1 kW/kg)
        
    cell.ragone.const_1 : float
        First constant in Ragone curve fit [kW/kg] (default: 245.848 kW/kg)
        
    cell.ragone.const_2 : float
        Second constant in Ragone curve fit [1/(Wh/kg)] (default: -0.00478 kg/Wh)
        
    cell.ragone.lower_bound : float
        Minimum specific energy on Ragone plot [Wh/kg] (default: 300 Wh/kg)
        
    cell.ragone.upper_bound : float
        Maximum specific energy on Ragone plot [Wh/kg] (default: 700 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.
