"""
This module can be used to read cycling data of the CX2, CS2 and PL type cells as
a dataframe. It converts cumulative values into individual values for
each cycle and determines net charge of the battery at every datapoint.
It can also be used to train and test a LSTM model and predict discharge capacity
using the LSTM model.
