Abstract
A lithium ion battery module was applied to the running of light rail vehicle for 3 years. The battery was a 15 kWh Mn type lithium ion battery and the relations between running time and voltage, current and integrating electric power were investigated in detail. A running test was carried out during light rail transit to investigate charge performance due to regenerative energy. The lithium ion battery module was quickly charged three times at 150 A by use of a regenerative braking system. Energy savings were estimated at around 22% when charging the lithium ion battery from regenerative energy. From a practical viewpoint, the capacity and cycle performance of the lithium ion battery submodule was examined over a 3-year period and although discharge capacity decreased to about 70% of initial capacity, the battery exhibited good cycle stability.
