I'm curious about elevated temperature performances of these batteries. Does anyone know the cycle count for these cells at 55-60C or rates of 1C/1C and 100% DoD? I have seen some published info for Lithium Ion batteries from Enerdel, but no one seems to be talking about anything above 60C..... How does this battery perform?

According to Hyundai's presentation(Volt battery is originally designed for Korean automaker use), the LG battery cell rarely heats above 50C.

Thanks for the slide info. Is this presentation by Hyundai on line somewhere? I'd really like to look at the rest of it. Thanks. This technology is facinating....

Thanks for this, I'll watch the vid and see if any LG performance specs come out of it. I saw on some other postings that the LG battery pack has a 600 cycle life and 50% DoD. Can anyone confirm this? Published reports are scarce or non existant on this battery pack....
