The Weibull distribution is commonly used to model the time until failure of products, including batteries. It is a flexible distribution that can account for different failure rates over time, making it a suitable choice for modelling the varying failure rates of batteries as they age and are exposed to different usage conditions. The other distributions listed are not appropriate for modelling the time until battery failure.
