Abstract: An approach to forecasting battery health as a dynamic time-series problem as opposed to a static prediction problem is presented. Systems and methods disclosed herein forecast a trajectory to failure by predicting a path to failure as opposed to only predicting when the battery may fail. A machine-learning model is implemented that extracts unique features taken from time-series data, such as time snippets of charging data. The raw time-series data may include current voltage and temperature with complex transformations and without capturing a full cycle, which permits wider applicability to instances of varying depth of discharge (DoD).
