  • Patent number: 12130334
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for improved determination of state of health (SoH) of a battery of a device can include determining that the device is in a charging state such that a charge of the battery is increased over a charge procedure; determining that a state of charge (SoC) metric of the battery reported by a battery gauge system has increased by a fixed SoC interval; determining a charge time interval over which the SoC metric of the battery has increased by the fixed SoC interval; and determining a SoH metric indicative of the SoH of the battery based at least in part on the charge time interval; wherein determining the SoH metric is based at least in part on a known relationship between a reference time interval representative of time required to increase a reference battery at full SoH by the fixed SoC interval and the charge time interval.
