Systems and methods of monitoring and testing a battery module, including generating Electrochemical Impedance Spectra (EIS) of one or more battery modules, fitting the EIS spectra to an equivalent circuit model to establish equivalent circuit fit parameters, measuring an open circuit voltage of the one or more battery modules, measuring a temperature of the one or more battery modules, combining the EIS equivalent circuit fit parameters with measured open circuit and temperature values to determine weighting parameters of the equivalent circuit fit parameters, applying the weighting parameters to the equivalent circuit fit parameters to generate weighted equivalent circuit fit parameters, and generating a state-of-health (SoH) measurement of the one or more battery modules based on the weighted equivalent circuit fit parameters.
