Abstract

The automobile industry is often believed to be moving towards electric vehicles. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) are anticipated to dominate the automotive industry. Regenerative braking is one of the modern approaches that recharge the battery by extracting the kinetic energy from the braking thus improving the vehicle range. However, the rate of current supplied by regenerative braking to the battery is a major concern as lithium-ion (Li-ion) is susceptible to failure due to the intensity of the charging-discharging rate, and operating temperature. So, this review article focuses on the effect of regenerative braking on the life of the battery and measures being taken to protect the battery from higher charging during regenerative braking. Various research articles are considered for observing the effect of regenerative braking on battery life. It is found that longer duration charging current obtained from regenerative braking that is irrespective of current intensity is the prominent factor of battery deterioration. If the SOC and the temperature are not in the optimal range, the Lithium plating rate increases. However, a higher level of regenerative braking increases the battery life even at high SOC and temperature by reducing the Depth of Discharge (DOD) and by using shorter recharging periods.
