🔋 Battery Degradation Predictor
The Battery Degradation Predictor helps you estimate
how fast your battery loses capacity over time.
By analyzing depth of discharge, temperature, charging current,
and battery chemistry, it provides a clear and practical
annual degradation estimate.
✨ What Is the Battery Degradation Predictor?
This tool estimates annual battery degradation using
a simplified but realistic model based on real-world usage conditions.
It helps users understand how daily habits impact battery lifespan
and when performance loss becomes significant.
⚙️ How the Tool Works
-
Depth of Discharge (DoD)
Higher DoD per cycle increases battery stress and accelerates degradation. -
Operating Temperature
Elevated temperatures speed up chemical aging inside the cells. -
Charging Current
Faster charging currents increase internal resistance and wear. -
Battery Chemistry
Li-ion, NiMH, and Lead-Acid chemistries degrade at different rates.
📊 Using the Predictor
- Adjust the sliders for DoD, temperature, and charging current
- Select your battery type
- Click “Predict Degradation”
- Review the estimated annual degradation range
Results include a color-coded indicator (green → orange → red)
and a bar chart showing minimum, estimated, and maximum degradation.
💡 Why Use This Tool?
- Plan battery lifespan before capacity drops noticeably
- Improve charging habits to reduce unnecessary wear
- Avoid surprises by anticipating degradation early
- Learn how real-world conditions affect battery health
🎯 Who Is It For?
- E-bike and electric scooter owners
- EV users and battery hobbyists
- DIY builders and engineers
- Anyone who wants longer battery life
🧭 Summary
The Battery Degradation Predictor turns complex battery
aging factors into a simple, visual estimate.
It helps users make smarter decisions that
extend battery life, improve reliability, and reduce costs.
