      abstract     = {Standalone PV battery systems have great potential to power
                      the one billion people worldwide who lack access to
                      electricity. Due to remoteness and poverty, durable and
                      cheap systems are required for a broad range of
                      applications. However, today’s PV battery systems do not
                      yet fully meet this requirement. Especially batteries still
                      prove to be a hindrance, as they represent the most
                      expensive and fastest-aging component in a PV battery
                      system. This work aims to address this by prolonging battery
                      life. For this purpose, a forecast-based charging strategy
                      was developed. As lithium-ion batteries age slower in a low
                      state-of-charge, the goal of the operation strategy is to
                      only charge the battery as much as needed. The impact of the
                      proposed charging strategy is examined in a case study using
                      one year of historical data of 14 standalone systems in
                      Nigeria. It was found that the proposed operation strategy
                      could reduce the average battery state-of-charge by around
                      $20\%$ without causing power outages for the mini-grids.
                      This would significantly extend the life of the battery and
                      ultimately lead to a more durable and cheaper operation of
                      standalone PV battery systems.},
