Energy recovery
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The following two graphics show an energy recovery performance comparison between an AGM battery and a lithium ion battery.
AGM battery:
| Item | Explanation |
|---|---|
| 1 | Capacity in ampere-hours |
| 2 | Voltage in Volts |
| 3 | Current in amperes |
| 4 | Time in seconds |
| 5 | Curve for state of charge |
| 6 | Current curve |
| 7 | Voltage curve |
Lithium ion battery:
| Item | Explanation |
|---|---|
| 1 | Battery capacity in ampere-hours |
| 2 | Battery voltage in volts |
| 3 | Current in amperes |
| 4 | Time in seconds |
| 5 | Curve for state of charge |
| 6 | Current curve |
| 7 | Voltage curve |
NOTE:
AGM battery:
The service life of an AGM battery is typically assumed to be 300 to 400 full cycles. That comes to a charge flow rate of approx. 36, 000 Ah.
Lithium ion battery: With the chemicals used, up to 3000 full cycles are possible. This corresponds to a charge flow rate of approx. 210, 000 Ah.
