The present disclosure relates to techniques for determining multiple parameterized values of an equivalent circuit model (ECM) that represents a Lithium-ion battery cell, enabling accurate simulation of various electrochemical processes occurring within the cell. A half-cell ECM is considered. The ECM can parameterized optimized by considering one or more constraints related to the electric potential of the negative electrode, breaking symmetry between parameter values associated with positive and negative electrodes. This results in improved accuracy of the ECM for simulating Lithium plating onset thresholds at different SOC values, enabling determination of optimized charging profiles or load constraints that avoid increased aging of the battery.
