celljar

Public battery cell test datasets, harmonized into a canonical schema, with timeseries data in Parquet for easy query.

Every research lab publishes cycler data in its own format, units, and sign conventions, so analyzing, comparing, or using data from more than one lab means writing a loader per source. celljar reads those raw datasets, normalizes them to one canonical schema, preserves each author's citation and license, and publishes the result as Parquet + JSON. Pull just the data you need, in one unified format.

Contents: 8 unique cell models, 280 cells, 1,494 tests, ~184M timeseries rows across 10 datasets (listed below).

Scope: celljar harmonizes MEASUREMENTS. It converts units, normalizes the schema, and preserves provenance. It does NOT fit R_DC, dV/dQ, OCV, or ECM parameters from V/I/T - that is downstream work: fit it with your own code, or an open-source tool (PyBOP, equivalent-circuit-model, and others). Values a source publishes itself ARE carried, tagged via *_method.

Quick start

The full bundle lives on HuggingFace. Query it directly - no clone needed:

import duckdb
df = duckdb.sql("""
    SELECT * FROM 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/mihnathul/celljar/resolve/main/timeseries.parquet'
    WHERE test_id = 'ORNL_LEAF_2013_HPPC_25C'
""").df()

pandas, Polars, and the datasets library read the same URLs - see Query in place below, including filtered reads that fetch only matching row groups instead of the whole file.

Only ORNL Leaf's raw data ships in the repo. For the other datasets you fetch the raw files yourself from the original source (each data/raw/<source>/SOURCE_DATA_PROVENANCE.md has the link and steps) and regenerate - or skip raw entirely and use the already-harmonized bundle on HuggingFace.

Schema

Four entities, joined by cell_id / test_id (and checkup_id where present):

cell_metadata   cells/*.json           one JSON per cell: chemistry, capacity, form factor
test_metadata   tests/*.json           one JSON per test: protocol, SOH, provenance, license, checkup_id
timeseries      timeseries.parquet     V / I / T per sample + signed coulomb count (∫I dt); join on test_id
cycle_summary   cycle_summary.parquet  source-published per-cycle aggregates (capacity, R_DC, ...)

Conventions: SI units, relative timestamps, missing data is explicit null. Current is normalized to one canonical sign across every source: positive = charge (into the cell), negative = discharge.

Provenance is first-class. Every test row carries source_doi / source_citation / source_license, and every value celljar could have computed instead of measured carries a *_method tag so you know where it came from:

Field Tag Values
soh_pct soh_method capacity_vs_first_checkpoint, bol_assumption, null
soc_range_min/max soc_method protocol_asserted, source_published, null
resistance_dc_ohm resistance_method source_published, null

celljar never derives SOC or R_DC from the timeseries - it persists the measured coulomb_count_observed_min/max_Ah instead. Full field list, types, and enums in the JSON Schemas; the runtime Pandera mirror is harmonize_schema.py.

Download the bundle 

pip install huggingface_hub
huggingface-cli download mihnathul/celljar --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./celljar-bundle

Add --revision <tag> to pin a release for reproducibility (tags are listed on the dataset's Versions tab). In Python:

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
local = snapshot_download(repo_id="mihnathul/celljar", repo_type="dataset")  # add revision="<tag>" to pin

Query in place - no download needed

DuckDB - full SQL across all entities over HTTPS 

INSTALL httpfs; LOAD httpfs;

       t.test_id, t.test_type, t.soh_pct,
       COUNT(*) AS n_samples

datasets library - streaming 

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset(
    "parquet",
    data_files="https://huggingface.co/datasets/mihnathul/celljar/resolve/main/timeseries.parquet",
    split="train",
    streaming=True,

for row in ds.take(5):
    print(row)

Related tools

celljar sits alongside, not in place of, the other tools in this space:

  • Battery Data Commons - registry indexing 300+ public battery datasets. Great for discovery; celljar adds a harmonized data layer over a subset of them.
  • Iontech (Shiyun Liu) - curated index of open-source battery monitoring and modeling datasets (RWTH home-storage, NREL failure databank, Stanford second-life, etc.) with paper links.
  • BatteryLife / BatteryML - cycling-to-failure ML benchmark (KDD 2025). Optimized for lifetime-prediction ML; celljar keeps the full V/I/T timeseries that physics-based parameterization (ECM/SPM/DFN) needs.

License & citation

The science belongs to the original authors; celljar just puts their data in one schema. Cite their papers when you use the data - every test_metadata row carries its own source_doi, source_citation, and source_license so attribution is one query away.

  • celljar code: MIT (LICENSE)
  • Harmonized bundle (schema, packaging): CC-BY-4.0
  • Upstream raw data: each publisher's original license (see the Datasets table above)
