Abstract
Early-life cycle-life prediction for lithium-ion batteries—estimating end-of-life from initial cycles—is valuable for rapid cell screening and battery health management. We investigate whether an explicit correlation-structure descriptor can complement physics-informed
ΔQ-based indicators and generic early-cycle statistical features on the Severson 124-cell benchmark. We develop a lightweight hybrid framework that combines
ΔQ-based health indicators, data-driven statistical features, and Laplacian Eigenmaps embeddings derived from a Pearson-correlation feature graph, with XGBoost used as the predictor. Across five feature configurations (
ΔQ Only, ΔQ + Statistics, Hybrid Append, VIF + Laplacian, and Integrated Laplacian), we evaluate pointwise regression accuracy using RMSE and
R2 together with PHM-style error-band measures RA@0.2, PH@0.1, and
α-λ(0.15), computed on implied RUL trajectories induced by the early-life cycle-life estimate. On the Primary test domain, all four non-baseline configurations improved over
ΔQ Only; Integrated Laplacian achieved the strongest RMSE/
R2 pair (97.00 cycles, 0.8215), while Hybrid Append remained competitive (102.28 cycles, 0.8016) and improved RA@0.2 and PH@0.1 relative to
ΔQ + Statistics. On the shifted Secondary domain,
ΔQ Only gave the most favorable RMSE/
R2 pair (267.82 cycles, 0.2275), whereas
Hybrid Append and
VIF + Laplacian improved selected error-band metrics. In an additional comparison against PCA, Random Projection, and Truncated SVD conducted at a matched 79-feature scale, with all transforms estimated from the training cells only, the graph-derived embedding remained competitive, but its margin over simpler reductions varied across splits. Taken together, these results support
Hybrid Append as the main appended-structure configuration in this study, while indicating that the benefit of the correlation-structure descriptor is more visible in selected PHM-style error-band metrics than in uniformly improved pointwise accuracy.
