Abstract This study newly introduces a complementary cooperative algorithm considering generative adversarial network (GAN)-Conditional Latent Space (CLS) combined with bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM) for improved and efficient lithium-ion rechargeable battery state prediction. The GAN-CLS algorithm, which is an advanced method of GAN, can generate corresponding images from an input label description. Long short-term memory (LSTM) is a specific recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture that can predict sequences more accurately than conventional RNNs. In terms of battery state prediction, the combination of two methods (GAN-CLS and LSTM) surely provides more improved and efficient rechargeable battery state prediction in contrast to conventional state predictors. The procedure of this study is as follows. First, we propose methods to enhance the data from battery charge/discharge by converting prepared data to images; then, the GAN-CLS method is used to generate corresponding battery data from previous images. Subsequently, the generated data is used to train the BLSTM model. Finally, the trained model is used to predict the battery state. By various experiments and verification, it is concluded that the proposed study can be a good solution for rechargeable battery state prediction (reduction of the time cost 50 times in modeling and 20 times in train/test, provision of a more accurate prediction mean square error (MSE) smaller than 0.0025 and the average MSE less than 0.0013).
