In this paper a dynamic model of a battery that lets simulate different types of batteries in light electric urban vehicles applications is proposed. The model is directly parameterizable from discharging experimental curves in test facilities. It properly fits to the particular behaviour observed in the charging/discharging curves in LiFePo 4 batteries. For the calibration of the proposed model experimental data from an experimental facility have been used and validation results are presented. The model is implemented in the object oriented modelling language Modelica reusing classes from the Modelica Standard Library. The calibration and the calibration has been performed with Dymola modelling tool.
