## File breakdown (260 total)

| Type | Count | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `.mat` | 198 | Time-series measurements (current, voltage, temperature, time) for each (profile, temperature) tuple, plus subsegments |
| `.csv` (EIS/) | 59 | Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy sweeps at multiple SOC points and temperatures |
| `Plot_results.m` | 1 | MATLAB utility for plotting (upstream-provided) |
| `Readme file - desc of tests performed.txt` | 1 | Upstream documentation of the experimental procedure |
| `README.md` | 1 | This file (BSEBench-added) |

## Profiles measured

DST, US06, FUDS, HWFET, LA92, NN (Neural Network — Kollmeyer custom), Cycle_1..Cycle_4 — at 5 temperatures (-20, -10, 0, 10, 25 °C).

## BSEBench Tier-2 (harmonized)

The corresponding harmonized canonical Parquet files (BSEBench v1.1.0 schema) are at `bsebench-org/panasonic-kollmeyer-2018` (Tier-2 repo). See `bsebench-runner/docs/M1_HF_LAYOUT.md` for the convention.

## K-016 closure note

The BSEBench M1 adapter `adapters/panasonic_kollmeyer_2018.py` produces Tier-2 Parquet that pad `cell_id` and `cycle_number` as constant columns (single-cell driving-cycle dataset). See KAIZEN K-016 for the rationale.
