Besides, the ASI pulsed and CC formation are also analysed regarding their selfdischarge using the capacity loss method . Figure exemplary shows the transient of voltage of one cell for each strategy. The strong over-potential decay in the beginning, originating from the fast declining ohmic and charge transfer resistances as well as following slow diffusion , can be observed for all cells. The initial potential drop is lower for the pulsed cells except for the C/5 cells in comparison to CC formed cells in agreement with the ASI values.
