Abstract: The aim of this paper is to develop a technique for detecting counterfeit energy storage systems. A model of energy storage systems was proposed and analyzed using the market paradigm. This was with a view to establishing the activation-concentration equation (ACE) basis for a comprehensive testing and/or identification of counterfeits. Moreover, the model was validated based on scenarios connected with available data and existing techniques, as a total process staggered in self-similar processes of individual techniques. The results obtained showed adequacy of data and present testing platforms, and improved on the relevance of significant battery management techniques. Moreover, it was possible to track the effect of ageing and temperature on battery performances from the plots derived from the available data.
