This chapter focuses on lithium-ion batteries. It also covers relevant aspects of this technology, focusing on the impedance measurement as a diagnostic tool mechanism for detecting aging on this type of batteries. Furthermore, we divide such mechanisms into online and offline methods based on their means of operation during the service time of the battery.
