System for predicting lifetime of battery

A system for predicting a lifetime of a battery cell, the system comprising:

• a learning data input unit, the learning data input unit being configured to receive at least one learning measurement factor and at least one learning factor, the learning measurement factor and the learning factor associated with a learning battery cell that was previously manufactured;
• a target data input unit, the target data input unit being configured to receive at least one target factor, the target factor associated with a target battery cell;
• a machine learning unit, the machine learning unit being coupled to the learning data input unit, the machine learning unit to generate a prediction function by assigning weights to respective ones of the learning factors input to the learning data input unit based on the learning measurement factor and the learning factor from the learning data input unit;
• and
• a lifetime prediction unit, the lifetime prediction unit being coupled to the target data input unit and the machine learning unit, the lifetime prediction unit to predict a lifetime of the target battery by using the target factor in association with the target battery and the prediction function generated by the machine learning unit before manufacturing the target battery cell, wherein:
• the learning data input unit is configured to receive at least one learning process factor, the learning process factor being indicative of a process parameter used during manufacture of the learning battery cell.
