Summary To achieve accurate state‐of‐charge (SoC) estimation for LiFePO 4 batteries, the effects of temperature, hysteresis, and thermal evolution are elaborately modeled. Open‐circuit voltage is regarded as the sum of electromotive force and hysteresis potential ( V h ), where electromotive force is constructed as the function of SoC and temperature and V h is reproduced with a geometrical model. By simulating battery heat generation and dissipation, a thermal evolution model is established and exploited for open‐circuit voltage and parameter identification. Then, on the basis of a second‐order equivalent circuit model, 2 SoC estimation schemes are proposed: One scheme uses the recursive least square with forgetting factor algorithm and off‐line equivalent circuit model parameters derived by the differential evolution algorithm; the other scheme resorts to the adaptive extended Kalman filter (EKF) and online tuned parameters. Experiments validate the effectiveness of the hysteresis model and the thermal evolution model. In contrast to a joint EKF estimator, experimental results under different temperatures and initial states suggest that both the proposed estimators are superior to the joint EKF estimator. Benefiting from the online updated parameters, the adaptive EKF estimator behaves best for giving consistent SoC‐tracking performance under different conditions.
