Description

SAM's battery life model uses a rainflow algorithm to count battery charge cycles. An alternative approach is full equivalent cycles.

Adding an option for full equivalent cycles would allow users to choose the battery cycle counting method.

Research direction

No file or test is named; start by locating SAM's battery life model and its existing rainflow cycle-counting path. Trace how model options are exposed, then verify that users can select full equivalent cycles and that degradation results use the selected method.
