The characteristics of power ternary polymer Li-ion batteries are closely connected to ambient temperature. The capacity characteristic, resistance and state of charge-open circuit voltage (SOC-OCV) curve are important parameters to represent the performance of power batteries and to determine battery management system (BMS) design. The experiments at different ambient temperatures are carried out and the laws between temperature and capacity, resistance and OCV are studied. The capacity drops sharply under low temperature, and increases with a relatively slower rate than under low temperature when the temperature goes up. Polarization and ohmic resistances during charge and discharge process decrease when the temperature rises, and the change rate of ohmic resistance is higher than that of the polarization resistance. Moreover, the change of ohmic resistance under low temperature is more significant than under high temperature. With the decrease of temperature, the SOC-OCV curve moves down, but generally, the curve is affected only slightly by the temperature.
