Over the past decade, there have been significant advancements in battery technology, particularly in the context of LIBs, which have revolutionized the development of electric vehicle (EV) technologies. These advancements have opened up new possibilities for clean and sustainable transportation. One critical aspect of the effective use of LIBs is accurately estimating their state-of-health (SOH). The SOH of a battery is a measure of its overall condition and performance and is vital to ensuring the reliability, safety, and cost-effectiveness of LIBs over the long term. Accurate SOH estimation is particularly crucial in applications like EVs, where battery failure can have significant safety and economic consequences.

Accurate SOH estimation is a challenging task that has far-reaching implications. It is not limited to EVs but also extends to the broader use of LIBs in consumer electronic devices. In the context of consumer electronics, monitoring the health of LIBs becomes crucial because any potential instability in these batteries can lead to dangerous incidents such as explosions or fires. Traditionally, techniques for predicting the capacity (the amount of energy a battery can store) of LIBs have relied heavily on analyzing features extracted from measured signals obtained under strict operating conditions.

Predicting the SOH of LIBs, especially in the context of electric vehicle batteries, is particularly challenging due to the time-consuming and labor-intensive process involved in battery cycling and the capacity measurements needed to create an accurate SOH estimation model. Furthermore, accurately forecasting the RUL of LIBs is essential for extending battery lifespan and ensuring safety. However, due to the limited number of charge and discharge cycles that LIBs can undergo before they degrade significantly, having sufficient historical data is a major challenge that can impact the accuracy of these predictions.

LIBs naturally degrade over time due to usage and exposure to environmental conditions. This degradation affects their ability to store energy and deliver power effectively. Accurately predicting the capacity and power fade of LIBs cells is especially challenging because of the inherent manufacturing variations in battery cells and the complex nonlinear aging processes they undergo.

Given the importance of accurate LIBs state estimation, it has become an area of great interest for researchers. However, designing LIBs involves balancing multiple factors, such as energy density, safety, and cost-effectiveness, making it a complex task. To address these challenges, machine learning (ML) has gained prominence as a tool to improve the accuracy of LIB state estimation. ML techniques can handle large datasets and complex patterns in data, thus aiding in more precise predictions while reducing the computational burden on researchers.
