A system and method for determining the health of a battery. A primary coil may be positioned along a first portion of a battery and a secondary coil may be positioned along a second portion of the battery. The primary coil may then be excited with a signal, and an electromagnetic field induced in the secondary coil by the excited primary coil may be measured. A state of health of the battery may thus correlate to the measured electromagnetic field during operation of the battery. This state of health may be determined as a function of electrolyte stratification, current profile, electrode structure, electrode surface degradation, and combinations thereof.
