Lithium batteries are increasingly used in electric vehicle applications. However, different manufacturing processes and technical constraints lead to battery inconsistency, even for batteries in the same production batch. High-rate discharging negatively affects battery consistency and results in service life reduction. A multi-parameter sorting method at high-rate operation was proposed in this study. The method was applied to sort batteries for cars. The sorted datasets were compared and analyzed by the fuzzy C-mean clustering method, the K-means clustering method, and the simulated annealing genetic algorithm. The comparisons proved that the genetic annealing algorithm was more suitable for battery classification. The clustered batteries were assembled into modules in series and parallel for experimental validation. The test results showed that the battery module cycle life was improved.
