  • Systems and methods for predicting the cycle life of cycling protocols
    Patent number: 11614491
    Abstract: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving the cycling of batteries by using data and a hierarchical Bayesian model (HBM) for predicting the cycle life of a cycling protocol. In one embodiment, a method includes classifying cycle life of a battery into a class using battery data from cycling with a protocol, wherein the class represents cycle life distributions of cycling protocols. The method also includes quantifying, using the class in a HBM, variability for the battery induced by the protocol. The method also includes predicting, using the HBM, an adjusted cycle life for the protocol according to the variability. The method also includes communicating the adjusted cycle life to operate the battery.
