ESTIMATING THE STATE OF HEALTH OF A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

A method for estimating the State of Health (SoH) of a rechargeable battery. The method may include obtaining a first value of State of Charge of the battery and subjecting the battery to a DC power charging. The method may further include after having performed the DC power charging, obtaining a second value of State of Charge of the battery and computing energy provided to the battery. The method may further include computing the State of Health using the following formula SoH=(DE)/(SoC−SoC). In some embodiments, DE may be the energy provided to the battery during the DC power charging, SoCmay be the first value of SoC of the battery, and SoCmay be the second value of SoC of the battery.
