Solution Approach 1:

The charging characteristic curve is divided into multiple curve segments, and the target curve segment with the highest correlation to battery state of health is extracted for analysis. This segmentation approach focuses detection on the most informative portion of the charging curve, improving accuracy while managing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The method extracts specific characteristic parameters (such as charging duration, voltage, current) from the target curve segment of the charging characteristic curve. By extracting only the relevant features rather than analyzing the entire curve, the method achieves high detection accuracy with controlled complexity

Inventive Principle:
