Accurate State of Health (SOH) estimation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is critical for ensuring the safety of electric vehicles and improving the reliability of battery management systems (BMS). However, the use of individual health features (HFs) and the selection of hyperparameters can increase the data processing burden on the BMS and reduce the accuracy of data-driven models. To address the above issue, this paper proposes a novel SOH estimation method for lithium-ion batteries based on the PSO–GWO–LSSVM prediction model with multi-dimensional health feature extraction. To comprehensively capture the battery aging mechanisms, four categories of health features—time, energy, similarity, and second-order features—are extracted from the LIBs charging segments. The correlation between HFs and SOH is comprehensively evaluated through Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses, followed by Gaussian filtering and outlier detection to enhance feature quality. With strong generalization and robustness, least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) is widely applied to nonlinear computations and function approximation. To improve LSSVM model accuracy and efficiency, this paper develops a novel prediction model that uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) combined with grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithms to optimize the LSSVM model. The generalization performance of the proposed method is validated through comparative experiments using a battery dataset provided by the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) Research Center at the University of Maryland. Experimental results show that the coefficient of determination (R²) consistently exceeds 0.985, with the average absolute error in SOH prediction for four batteries remaining around 0.5%. The comparative experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has a certain degree of accuracy, robustness, and generalization capability.

To address the limitations of conventional electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) testing, we propose an efficient rapid EIS testing system. This system utilizes an AC pulse excitation signal combined with an “intelligent fast fourier transform (IFFT) optimization algorithm” to achieve rapid “one-to-many” impedance data measurements. This significantly enhances the speed, flexibility, and practicality of EIS testing. Furthermore, the conventional model-fitting approach for EIS data often struggles to resolve the issue of overlapping impedance arcs within a limited frequency range. To address this, the present study employs the Regularization Distributed Relaxation Time (RDRT) method to process EIS data obtained under AC pulse conditions. This approach avoids the workload and analytical uncertainties associated with assuming equivalent circuit models. Finally, the practical utility of the proposed testing system and the RDRT impedance analysis method is demonstrated through the estimation of battery state of health (SOH). In summary, the method proposed in this study not only addresses the issues associated with conventional EIS data acquisition and analysis but also broadens the methodologies and application scope of EIS impedance testing. This opens up new possibilities for its application in fields such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) energy storage.
