Recently, the term battery efficiency has been found in the literature. how do we calculate this value, and from which graph do we estimate this energy efficiency? Is there any standard value for energy efficiency to compare with? Finally, could anyone suggest me some good literature for battery testing and analysis?

Energy efficiency is ratio of useful energy output from a battery to the total energy input. It's a measure of how effectively a battery converts and delivers energy during charge and discharge cycles. Higher energy efficiency indicates that a battery can store and release energy more effectively, leading to better overall performance.
Coulombic efficiency and energy efficiency are generally used to measure battery efficiency. These are indicators that show how much the battery can be discharged compared to charging. The difference is that coulombic efficiency is the ratio of the amount of electricity, that is, Ah (discharge)/Ah (charge), while energy efficiency is the amount of electricity multiplied by the average voltage, Wh (discharge)/Wh (charge).
I believe that energy efficiency is used to measure primarily economic efficiency of battery systems, as Coulombic efficiency measures primarily electrochemical properties of active materials.
