While the prediction of RUL for these batteries is a well-established field, the current research refines RUL prediction methodologies by leveraging deep learning techniques, advancing prediction accuracy. This study proposes AccuCell Prodigy, a deep learning model that integrates auto-encoders and long short-term memory (LSTM) layers to enhance RUL prediction accuracy and efficiency. The model’s name reflects its precision (“AccuCell”) and predictive strength (“Prodigy”). The proposed methodology involves preparing a dataset of battery operational features, split using an 80–20 ratio for training and testing. Leveraging 22 variations of current (critical parameter) across three Li-ion cells, AccuCell Prodigy significantly reduces prediction errors, achieving a mean square error of 0.1305%, mean absolute error of 2.484%, and root mean square error of 3.613%, with a high R-squared value of 0.9849. These results highlight its robustness and potential for advancing battery health management.
