"""Physics-based battery for the cargo e-bike: PyBaMM DFN as truth, and the ebike's 2-RC equivalent-circuit model (ECM) calibrated *from* the DFN. The Jaxonomy e-bike model (``ebike_hybrid_simulation.py``) uses a lightweight 2-RC ECM cell for speed. That is the right engineering choice for a real-time system model — but its parameters should be justified by a high-fidelity electrochemical model, not guessed. Here we: 1. Run a **Doyle-Fuller-Newman (DFN)** cell (PyBaMM, Chen2020 chemistry, lumped thermal) under an e-bike-representative current profile — this is the physical truth (resolves solid/electrolyte Li transport, overpotentials). 2. Run a **Single-Particle Model with electrolyte (SPMe)** — a physics-based reduced-order model — under the same current, and measure how well it tracks the DFN (and how much faster it is). 3. Extract the **pseudo-OCV** curve from a slow DFN discharge (the OCV is the *dominant* term in any ECM — leaving it hand-written while calling the model "calibrated" would be theater), then fit the e-bike's **2-RC ECM** (plus its initial SOC) to the DFN terminal voltage, validate on a **held-out** profile the fit never saw, and check the fitted values against the group-level defaults the vehicle model (Part 1) actually ships — the loop is closed, not just gestured at. **Pack vs cell**: the vehicle pack is 13S3P of ~5 Ah cells; Part 1 lumps each 3P group into one 15 Ah "cell", so per-cell current here = pack current / 3, and Part 1's group-level parameters = (fitted per-cell R)/3, C*3. All mV figures below are per cell — multiply by 13 for pack-level error. This mirrors the Jaxonomy battery tutorial series (part 1 ECM, part 2 parameter ID) with a first-principles ground truth.
