contents The endpoint slippage analysis can be used to quantify the reduction and oxidation side-reactions occurring in rechargeable batteries. Application of this technique often disregards the interference of additional aging modes, such as impedance rise and loss of active material (LAM). Here, we show that these modes can themselves induce slippage of endpoints, making the direct determination of parasitic reactions more difficult. We provide equations that describe the slippages caused by LAM and impedance rise. We show that these equations can, in principle, account for the contribution of these additional modes to endpoint slippage, enabling correction of testing data to quantify the side-reactions of interest. However, the challenge with this approach is that it requires information about the average Li content of disconnected active material domains, which is, in many cases, unknowable. The present work explores mathematical connections between measurable quantities (such as capacity fade and endpoint slippages) and the extent of LAM or impedance rise endured by the cell, and discuss how the tracking of endpoints can better serve battery diagnostics.
