 ### BLAST-Lite
 
-Battery Lifetime Analysis and Simulation Toolsuite in the python programming language.
-Provides a library of battery lifetime and degradation models for various commercial lithium-ion batteries.
+Battery Lifetime Analysis and Simulation Toolsuite (BLAST) provides a library of battery lifetime and degradation models for various commercial lithium-ion batteries from recent years. Degradation models are indentified from publically available lab-based aging data using NREL's battery life model identification toolkit. The battery life models predicted the expected lifetime of batteries used in mobile or stationary applications as functions of their temperature and use (state-of-charge, depth-of-discharge, and charge/discharge rates). Model implementation is in both Python and MATLAB programming languages. The MATLAB code also provides example applications (stationary storage and EV), climate data, and simple thermal management options. For more information on battery health diagnostics, prediction, and optimization, see [NREL's Battery Lifespan](https://www.nrel.gov/transportation/battery-lifespan.html) webpage.
