|---|---|---|
| You are defining the requirement. | Begin with identity before comparing measurement distributions · Resolve specification revisions instead of merging convenient values | 18650 Pack Cell Consistency: What Matching Evidence Should an OEM Request? |
| You are integrating a configuration. | Read the method before reading the milliohm number · A DC pulse value belongs to an observation time | 18650 Internal Resistance Reports: Why ACIR and DCIR Values Are Not Interchangeable |
| You are preparing an RFQ or evaluation. | Draw the thermal boundary around the installed assembly · Preserve the timing of the load instead of using average current alone | 18650 Pack Thermal Management: Evaluate the Finished Assembly, Not Just Cell Current |
