With dwindling fossil-fuel reserves, battery technology is penetrating into various new and old ventures. The continual pursuit of a robust and long-lasting battery technology remained the crux of the emerging trend. Battery solution providers witnessed an increase in the usage of technologies like artificial intelligence, internet of things, big data analytics, and so on. Battery storage has reduced the requirement to constantly run and cycle large fossil fuel generators and has also assisted in mitigating the issues of solar and wind power intermittency that render power quality problems. With the help of AI, battery manufacturers use data generated to predict the performance of lithium-ion batteries over the lifetime of the cells before their performance starts to slip. Unlike manual analysis that takes many months to determine a battery's lifetime, AI could predict lifetime performance after only hours of data collection, while the battery was still at its prime. Additionally, the use of data analytics along with internet is facilitating higher battery efficiency and operational reliability. They are also aiding the solution providers in developing smart batteries. However, higher upfront battery cost is plaguing the industry. An opposing view justifies the cost in favour of long-term battery life. Despite the dissent, the key point to remember is how innovations in battery technology are helping humankind in realizing its dream of producing green energy that will aid in the pursuit of sustainable development. Overall, the growing innovations in battery storage systems seem amazingly promising for they can not only advance the current process but also invent novel solutions to manifest humankind's futuristic ideas.
