Abstract: An adaptive multi-string battery for an electric vehicle is disclosed herein. The battery strings can adaptively be connected to the power bus bars based on the output voltage to be discharged with load. During operation of the vehicle, the voltage, current, and estimate charge can be constantly monitored to change the connected status of the battery strings to the power buses to allow connecting or disconnecting of the battery strings adaptively.

Abstract: Systems and methods for disengaging a battery are disclosed. The systems and methods may be used to disengage a battery from a direct-current (DC) bus of a vehicle when the DC bus is under a load. In one implementation, the system includes one or more contactors between the battery string and the DC bus. The system also includes a controller. The controller is configured to reduce a current limit of a power train of the vehicle to a first current level. The controller is also configured to open the one or more contactors. The controller is further configured to increase the current limit of the power train of the vehicle to a second current level.

Abstract: In one aspect, a power system comprises a power bus, a plurality of energy-storage modules, and a controller. Each energy-storage module is coupled to the power bus and comprises an energy-storage device configured to store energy, an electrical circuit safety device configured to detect safe power conditions in the energy-storage module and break an electrical circuit within the energy-storage module based on a detection of unsafe power conditions in the energy-storage module, and a switch configured to selectively couple the energy-storage device to the power bus. The controller is configured to monitor a state of each of the plurality of energy-storage modules and control a state of the power system based on the state of each of the plurality of energy-storage modules.

Abstract: A battery level management system for an electric vehicle during a powered down and uncharged period is disclosed. A current output from a low voltage battery of the electric vehicle being above a threshold can be sensed to wake up a control unit associated with the low voltage battery without waking up or fully powering other control units. Upon waking up, the control unit associated with the low voltage battery can start monitoring the current output from the low voltage battery and controlling the power drawn from the low voltage battery by enabling or disabling other control units to manage the remaining low voltage battery power level.

Abstract: Systems and methods for overheating protection in a liquid cooled vehicle battery are disclosed. Systems can include a battery housing enclosing at least one electrochemical cell and a temperature dependent fuse connected in series with the at least one electrochemical cell. A cooling system may circulate liquid coolant through the battery housing. In the event of a cooling system failure, the temperature dependent fuse may blow before the temperature of the at least one electrochemical cell increases enough to damage the battery.

Abstract: A system for intelligently disengaging vehicle creep, the system comprising one or more sensors configured to be operatively coupled with a vehicle, one or more processors configured to execute machine-readable instructions to obtain information from one or more of the sensors, compare obtained information with reference information, determine whether a creep disengaging condition has been satisfied based on the obtained information and the reference information, and disengage a creep function of the vehicle if it is determined that a creep disengaging condition has been satisfied. In some embodiments, the system disengages a vehicle's creep functionality when it is determined that the driver has exited the vehicle.
