In the present disclosure, additional discussion is provided below with respect to cells with the same type of high capacity nanocomposite anode particles or powders (e.g., with the same type/class of high capacity nanocomposite anode powders in the anode) as those described above. In particular, cells comprising NCM cathodes are discussed in detail below, although automotive cells with other cathodes (e.g., NCA, LMO, a mixture of NCM, NCA and/or LMO, etc.) may also benefit from the certain aspects of this disclosure.
