After obtaining the data efficiency of the trajectory correction hysteresis (TCH) model with the introduction of the transfer fit (TF) method, this work applies the TF TCH for OCV-based SOC correction. The TF method plays a key role as it enables the cell-specific adaptation of an existing TCH model - ageing update is achieved with solely 12 (SOC/OCV) measurement points. With the precise hysteresis model, the developed framework successfully corrects the faulty SOC history, which could originate from a vehicle data logger. Given that two OCV measurement points are available that arbitrarily lie within the SOC history, the SOC correction is achieved by minimising the voltage deviation between the measurement points and the TCH model’s simulation. Identifying the two SOC parameters shift and scale enables subsequent SOC estimation until an additional OCV measurement is available for a further update.
