The performance of lithium-ion batteries depends strongly on their ageing state; therefore, the monitoring and the prediction of the battery state of health (SoH) is necessary for an optimized and secured functioning of battery systems. This paper evaluates and compares three artificial neural network architectures for multi-step ageing prediction of lithium-ion cells: Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and Long short-term memory (LSTM). These models use the features extracted from the cell's temperature to predict the cell's capacity. The features are extracted from experimental measurements of the cell's surface temperature and selected based on Spearman correlation analysis. The prediction results were evaluated and compared considering three different percentages of the training dataset: 60%, 70%, and 80%. Training and testing data were generated experimentally based on accelerated ageing cycling tests. During these experiments, four Nickel Manganese Cobalt/Graphite (NMC) cells were cycled under a controlled temperature environment based on a dynamic current profile extracted from the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycles.
