Predicting Li-ion Battery Cycle Life with LSTM RNN

Abstract

Efficient and accurate remaining useful life prediction is a key factor for reliable and safe usage of lithium-ion batteries. This work trains a long short-term memory recurrent neural network model to learn from sequential data of discharge capacities at various cycles and voltages and to work as a cycle life predictor for battery cells cycled under different conditions. Using experimental data of first 60 - 80 cycles, our model achieves promising prediction accuracy on test sets of around 80 samples.
