Claim One:
1. A system for predicting a lifetime of a battery cell, the system comprising: a learning data input unit, the learning data input unit being configured to receive at least one learning measurement factor and at least one learning factor, the learning measurement factor and the learning factor corresponding to a learning battery cell that was previously-manufactured; a target data input unit, the target data input unit being configured to receive at least one target factor, the target factor corresponding a target battery cell for which a lifetime is to be predicted; a machine learning unit, the machine learning unit being coupled to the learning data input unit, the machine learning unit assigning weights to respective ones of the learning factors input to the learning data input unit; and a lifetime prediction unit, the lifetime prediction unit being coupled to the target data input unit and the machine learning unit, the lifetime prediction unit using the weights assigned by the machine learning unit to predict one or more characteristics indicative of the lifetime of the target battery cell.
