Lithium-ion batteries are recognised as a key technology to power electric vehicles and integrate gridconnected renewable energy resources. The economic viability of these applications is affected by the battery degradation during its lifetime. This study presents an extensive experimental degradation data for lithium-ion battery cells from three different manufactures (Sony, BYD and Samsung). The Sony and BYD cells are of LFP chemistry while the Samsung cell is of NMC. The capacity fade and resistance increase of the battery cells are quantified due to calendar and cycle aging. The charge level and the temperature are considered as the main parameters to affect calendar aging while the depth of discharge, current rate and temperature for cycle aging. It is found that the Sony and BYD cells with LFP chemistry has calendar capacity loss of nearly 5% and 8% after 30 months respectively. Moreover, the Samsung NMC cell reached 80% state of health after 3000 cycles at 35C and 75% discharge depth suggesting a better cycle life compared to the other two battery cells with the same conditions.
