Battery Equivalent Circuit Model

The Battery Equivalent Circuit Model (ECM) represents battery electrochemical behavior using an electrical circuit analogy. It includes an ideal voltage source (open-circuit voltage dependent on state of charge), internal resistance(s) for ohmic losses, and capacitive/resistive elements for transient response. ECM enables rapid simulation of battery behavior in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and portable devices without solving complex electrochemical equations.
