METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING DEGRADATION OF BATTERY FOR VEHICLE

A method and a system for estimating degradation of a battery for an electric vehicle are provided. The method includes determining a current battery resistance increase rate by measuring an increase in resistance of the battery during charging of the battery, determining an initial battery resistance increase rate on the basis of a predetermined initial battery resistance increase rate map for indicating the battery resistance increase rate of the battery in a begin of life (BOL) state, and calculating current degradation of the battery on the basis of the current battery resistance increase rate and the initial battery resistance increase rate.
