    Abstract: A battery management system for a vehicle includes a controller programmed to apply a current pulse to reverse a current flow through a battery to reduce or remove cell polarization. After the current pulse, an open-circuit voltage is measured as the terminal voltage of the battery. The settling time for the terminal voltage to approach the open-circuit voltage is reduced after the current pulse. The magnitude of the current pulse is based on a battery state of charge, a battery temperature, and a current magnitude prior to the current pulse.

    Abstract: Determination of an electric vehicle battery state-of-charge (SOC) based on measuring open circuit voltage is subject to error as the relationship changes over time. A method is provided for updating the relationship during aging. A charging current is applied to the battery cell. A favorable charging condition is detected in response to a predetermined charging current. A charging slope vector is compiled during the charging condition comprising a plurality of slope values over respective state-of-charge increments. A plurality of SOC-OCV slope vectors are determined corresponding to a plurality of stored SOC-OCV aging curves, each SOC-OCV slope vector comprising a plurality of slope values over equivalent state-of-charge increments. One of the stored SOC-OCV aging curves is selected having an SOC-OCV slope vector best fitting the charging slope vector for use in converting measured OCV values to battery cell SOC values.

    Abstract: A vehicle traction battery system may include a battery pack, a fan configured to direct air flow to the pack, and a controller. The controller may be programmed to, in response to a predicted pack temperature being greater than a first predefined temperature, direct the fan to operate at a predefined generally constant speed that does not change with vehicle speed or engine on/off state until the predicted battery pack temperature falls below a second predefined temperature. A method is also provided for cooling the vehicle traction battery system based on a predicted battery pack temperature and a heat generation rate.

    Abstract: A vehicle includes a battery pack, an electric motor, and a contactor to electrically connect the pack and motor. The contactor is configured with a control circuit to electrically connect the pack and motor. The control circuit includes a leak detection sensor. The vehicle further includes a controller to output a leakage resistance associated with the pack. The leakage resistance is based on a voltage of the pack and a leak voltage detected by the sensor while the contactor is closed.

    Abstract: Vehicles that use electric power as a motive force may use accurate measurements of battery power for numerous purposes, e.g., battery characteristics, state of charge of the battery, travel distance remaining for the vehicle and the like. A traction battery measurement should be taken when the battery is fully relaxed, i.e., the battery is neither being charged nor providing power and a time period thereafter when the battery chemistry reaches a steady state. A controller or methods may determine if the battery is relaxed and if the battery is not relaxed, delay charging or discharging of the traction battery to allow accurate battery capacity determination. The controller may control a battery charger to ensure the battery is fully relaxed before sensing battery characteristics.
