Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 7, wherein calculating a current SOH comprises optimizing power performance wherein optimizing power performance comprises the steps of:
(i) determining a current pressure condition by sensing pressure of the battery cell;
(ii) comparing the current pressure condition with a threshold pressure value to provide a pressure comparison result;
(iii) determining whether a safety condition exists based on the pressure comparison result relative to the threshold pressure value;
(iv) determining whether the pressure comparison result is normal or not normal, and whether the normal or not normal condition further comprises a safety condition or no safety condition;
(v) applying a fourth pressure to the battery system if the pressure comparison result fails to exceed the threshold pressure value and is not normal and a safety condition does not exist;
(vi) depressurizing the battery system if the pressure comparison result exceeds the threshold pressure value and is not normal and a safety condition exists; or (vii) depressurizing the battery system if the pressure comparison result exceeds the threshold pressure value and is not normal.
