Summary: This paper introduces a novel multi-task learning data-driven model called GBLS Booster for accurately assessing the state of health (SOH) and remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium batteries. The model combines the strengths of GBLS and the CNN-Transformers algorithm-based Booster, and the Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) algorithm is used for optimization. The study devises 10 healthy indicators (HIs) derived from readily available sensor data to capture variations in battery SOH. The random forest method (RF) is employed for feature refinement and data dimension reduction, while the complete empirical mode decomposition (CEEMDAN) method and the Pearson correlation coefficient are used for noise reduction and data point elimination in RUL prediction. The proposed model demonstrates exceptional accuracy, robustness, and generalization capabilities.
