contents Conventional battery equivalent circuit models (ECMs) have limited capability to predict performance at high discharge rates, where lithium depleted regions may develop and cause a sudden exponential drop in the cell's terminal voltage. Having accurate predictions of performance under such conditions is necessary for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft applications, where high discharge currents can be required during fault scenarios and the inability to provide these currents can be safety-critical. To address this challenge, we utilize data-driven modeling methods to derive a parsimonious addition to a conventional ECM that can capture the observed rapid voltage drop with only one additional state. We also provide a detailed method for identifying the resulting model parameters, including an extensive characterization data set along with a well-regularized objective function formulation. The model is validated against a novel data set of over 150 flights encompassing a wide array of conditions for an eVTOL aircraft using an application-specific and safety-relevant reserve duration metric for quantifying accuracy. The model is shown to predict the landing hover capability with an error mean and standard deviation of 2.9 and 6.2 seconds, respectively, defining the model's ability to capture the cell voltage behavior under high discharge currents.
