Dataset for rapid state of health estimation of lithium batteries using EIS and machine learning: Training and validation

This article addresses the objective, experimental design and methodology of the tests conducted for battery State of Health (SOH) estimation using an accelerated test method. For this purpose, 25 unused cylindrical cells were aged, by continual electrical cycling using a 0.5C charge and 1C discharge to 5 different SOH breakpoints (80, 85, 90, 95 and 100%). Ageing of the cells to the different SOH values was undertaken at a temperature of 25 °C. A reference performance test (RPT) of C/3 charge-discharge at 25 °C was performed when the cells were new and at each stage of cycling to define the energy capacity reduction due to increased charge-throughput. An electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test was performed at 5, 20, 50, 70 and 95% states of charge (SOC) for each cell at temperatures of 15, 25 and 35 °C. The shared data includes the raw data files for the reference test and the measured energy capacity and the measured SOH for each cell. It contains the 360 EIS data files and a file which tabulates the key features of the EIS plot for each test case. The reported data has been used to train a machine-learning model for the rapid estimation of battery SOH discussed in the manuscript co-submitted (MF Niri et al., 2022). The reported data can be used for the creation and validation of battery performance and ageing models to underpin different application studies and the design of control algorithms to be employed in battery management systems (BMS).
