Abstract:
A battery control system includes a battery including: first, second, and third terminals; a plurality of individual groups of two or more battery cells; and a plurality of switches configured to connect ones of the individual groups to and from ones of the first, second, and third terminals. A mode module is configured to set a mode to a first mode when a fault is present in a charging source of the battery. A switch control module is configured to control the plurality of switches based on a first predetermined capacity allotment when the mode is in the first mode.
