{"id":"wdb9p2ztb2","doi":{"id":"10.17632/wdb9p2ztb2.1","status":"allocated","prefix":"10.17632"},"name":"Lithium-ion battery cycling and aging measurements collected under tropical environmental conditions in Cameroon","description":"This dataset was generated to characterize lithium-ion battery degradation in the context of electric vehicle operation under tropical environmental conditions. The working hypothesis underlying the data generation process is that sustained exposure to elevated ambient temperature and humidity, combined with repeated charge–discharge cycling typical of electric mobility usage profiles, accelerates electrochemical aging mechanisms and modifies the dynamic electrical and thermal response of the battery system.\n\nThe batteries were operated following controlled cycling protocols representative of electric vehicle usage, including repeated charge–discharge sequences at defined current rates. Data acquisition was performed using calibrated battery testing systems and integrated monitoring sensors. Continuous time-series measurements were recorded for voltage, current, and surface temperature. Cycle-resolved variables include discharge capacity, internal resistance estimation, cycle index, depth of discharge, and health-related indicators derived from capacity evolution.\n\nEnvironmental parameters reflecting tropical operating conditions were monitored during the acquisition period to account for thermal stress exposure. The dataset includes both raw time-series signals and processed cycle-level summaries to enable multi-scale analysis.\n\nThe data exhibit progressive capacity fade, increasing internal resistance trends, and evolving voltage response profiles across cycles. Thermal behavior during high-current operation phases shows measurable variations consistent with aging progression. These patterns allow quantification of degradation trajectories under electric vehicle operational constraints.\n\nThe dataset is structured to support advanced modeling tasks including time-series forecasting, degradation curve fitting, multivariate regression, dimensionality reduction, regularization techniques addressing correlated predictors, and deep learning architectures for health estimation. It can also be used for benchmarking predictive maintenance algorithms, probabilistic graphical modeling, reliability analysis, and algorithm validation under high-temperature electric vehicle operating conditions.\n\nThe data are organized in structured spreadsheet format with clearly defined units and variable descriptions to facilitate reuse in electrochemical modeling, data-driven health estimation, and energy storage system reliability research.","version":1,"contributors":[{"profile_id":"7ef12a4c-0698-43b5-ae0c-522afebc1c6c","first_name":"Steyve","last_name":"Nyatte"},{"institution":{"id":"57c45788-8702-45a0-aa69-abb21f79a0c9","name":"University of Douala","ror_id":"https://ror.org/02zr5jr81"},"contribution":"data acquisition","first_name":"Fuste Hervé","last_name":"Lotchouang"}],"files":[{"filename":"EV_Battery_Degradation_Data_Cameroon.xlsx","id":"30036a92-cad1-47b5-a880-e0ae9343136f","content_details":{"id":"ff8d5630-60be-4542-9a2c-0250e29fbadd","sha256_hash":"ea3a1cbfd9263e4354328c3f117814964aeea3a38f3cd40e79a2d928f06e56ea","content_type":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet","size":147775,"created_date":"2026-02-22T11:14:22.084Z","download_url":"https://data.mendeley.com/public-files/datasets/wdb9p2ztb2/files/30036a92-cad1-47b5-a880-e0ae9343136f/file_downloaded","view_url":"https://data.mendeley.com/public-files/datasets/wdb9p2ztb2/files/30036a92-cad1-47b5-a880-e0ae9343136f/file_viewed","download_expiry_time":"2126-09-15T03:29:48.18151092Z"},"metrics":{"downloads":0,"previews":0},"size":147775,"status":"COMPLETED"}],"versions":[{"version":1,"available":true,"publish_date":"2026-02-23T19:45:23.986Z"}],"articles":[],"categories":[{"id":"data.elsevier.com/vocabulary/OmniScience/Concept-252591162","label":"Lithium Battery"}],"institutions":[{"id":"57c45788-8702-45a0-aa69-abb21f79a0c9","name":"University of Douala","ror_id":"https://ror.org/02zr5jr81"}],"metrics":{"views":0,"file_downloads":0,"file_previews":0},"available":true,"size":147775,"owner":{"profile_id":"7ef12a4c-0698-43b5-ae0c-522afebc1c6c","first_name":"Steyve","last_name":"Nyatte"},"channel":"WEB","owner_id":"7ef12a4c-0698-43b5-ae0c-522afebc1c6c","publish_date":"2026-02-23T19:45:23.986Z","data_licence":{"id":"01d9c749-3c4d-4431-9df3-620b2dcfe144","description":"You can share, copy and modify this dataset so long as you give appropriate credit, provide a link to the CC BY license, and indicate if changes were made, but you may not do so in a way that suggests the rights holder has endorsed you or your use of the dataset.
