To bridge this gap, this study proposes a novel switching-sequential hybrid framework (II–Ah) which synergistically integrates: (1) a threshold-triggered switching logic that seamlessly transitions from Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF)-based observer (for rapid initial optimization) to low-complexity ampere-hour integration, ensuring both high accuracy and computational efficiency; (2) a real-time capacity update mechanism, driven by an internal-resistance-based state of health estimator, that continuously compensates for capacity degradation without requiring offline intervention; and (3) the unified coordination of both mechanisms. Validated using offline measured data in MATLAB over 100 cycles, the proposed II–Ah estimator achieves a mean absolute error of 1.10% and a root mean squared error of 1.70% for a 2Ah battery. Its robustness and scalability are further demonstrated for 2Ah and 16Ah batteries via high-fidelity COMSOL–MATLAB co-simulation platform, maintaining estimation errors below 2% under dynamic operating conditions.
