In collaboration, Eatron Technologies and the University of Warwick have developed a new battery health algorithm that can accurately estimate the remaining life of an EV battery.
Over time, as a battery’s cells age, so do its performance and condition. If this natural deterioration is not constantly watched, it may result in catastrophic cell breakdowns. Traditional RUL estimates rely on simple voltage-based analytics with possibilities of complex failure conditions, risking the safety of consumers.
The algorithm can be integrated into a vehicle battery management system (BMS). It will provide a clear picture of the battery’s health during the second life of the battery.
The algorithm was developed under the project named, VIPER (Validated & Integrated Platform for Battery Remaining Useful Life). However, it also highlighted that further improvement in the physical models would be needed to increase the accuracy required for commercial applications.
