Battery management systems (BMSs) are required to estimate many non-measurable values that describe the actual operating condition of batteries, such as the state of charge (SOC) or the state of health (SOH). In order to improve this evaluation, many physical states and parameters can be estimated using physics-based models (PBMs). These estimates could be used to improve the control and prognosis of batteries. The invention proposes a method to estimate the state of health (SOH) parameters of a lithium-ion battery cell, using interconnected sigma-point Kalman filters (SPKFs) and a single-particle model with electrolyte dynamics (SPMe). The observability of each eSOH parameter is assessed and the state/parameter estimation approach is described. The method is capable of estimating the eSOH parameters and all the degradation modes that can occur inside a lithium-ion battery cell using only cell voltage and current measurements.
