Abstract: Due to the highly nonlinear, dynamic, and slowly time-varying nature of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) during operation, achieving accurate and real-time parameters online identification in first-order RC equivalent circuit models (ECMs) remains a significant challenge, including low accuracy and poor real-time performance. This paper establishes a fractional-order chaotic system for first-order RC-ECM based on a charge-controlled memristor. The system exhibits chaotic behavior when parameters are tuned. Then, based on the principle of the state observer, an identification observer is designed for each unknown parameter of the first-order RC-ECM, achieving online identification of these unknown parameters of the first-order RC-ECM of LIB. The proposed method addresses key limitations of traditional parameter identification techniques, which often rely on large sample datasets and are sensitive to variations in ambient temperature, road conditions, load states, and battery chemistry. Experimental validation was conducted under the HPPC, DST, and UDDS conditions. Using the actual terminal voltage of a single cell as a reference, the identified first-order RC-ECM parameters enabled accurate prediction of the online terminal voltage. Comparative results demonstrate that the proposed state observer achieves significantly higher accuracy than the forgetting factor recursive least squares (FFRLS) algorithm and Kalman filter (KF) algorithm, while offering superior real-time performance, robustness, and faster convergence.
