AI-Powered Digital Twins for Extending Electric Battery Life and Safety

energyTestedTRL 5

Imagine your car battery had a digital twin in the cloud that knew exactly how it was aging and why. Instead of guessing when a battery is worn out, this system uses smart sensors and AI to predict its health. This allows batteries to be safely reused for home energy storage after they are too old for cars.
