Abstract: The accurate estimation of the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries is critical for ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of modern energy storage systems. Traditional model-based and data-driven methods often struggle to capture complex spatiotemporal degradation patterns, leading to reduced accuracy and robustness. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel dynamic graph pruning neural network with self-attention mechanism (DynaGPNN-SAM) for SOH estimation. The method transforms sequential battery features into graph-structured representations, enabling the explicit modeling of spatial dependencies among operational variables. A self-attention-guided pruning strategy is introduced to dynamically preserve informative nodes while filtering redundant ones, thereby enhancing interpretability and computational efficiency. The framework is validated on the NASA lithium-ion battery dataset, with extensive experiments and ablation studies demonstrating superior performance compared to conventional approaches. Results show that DynaGPNN-SAM achieves lower root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) values across multiple batteries, particularly excelling during rapid degradation phases. Overall, the proposed approach provides an accurate, robust, and scalable solution for real-world battery management systems.
