    摘要: A vehicle includes a traction battery, circuitry including a switch and a capacitor, and a monitoring chip configured to draw power from a cell of the traction battery via the circuitry responsive to the switch being closed. The circuitry is configured to open the switch to disconnect the cell from the chip and power the chip via the capacitor for a predetermined period. Powering the chip via the capacitor prevents power down of the chip during the predetermined period. The circuitry opens the switch responsive to engine cranking.

    摘要: A high-voltage system for a vehicle includes a module having a resonant circuit coupled across powerlines, and a controller. The controller is programmed to, during a power up of the high-voltage system, propagate on the powerlines a first signal at a fundamental frequency for a first period. The controller is further programmed to, in response to a first impedance measured across the powerlines at the fundamental frequency during the period being less than a predetermined value, close main contactors to energize the module.

    摘要: A hybrid vehicle battery system that comprises a plurality of cells that are electrically coupled to an electric motor of the vehicle is provided, the electric motor being mechanically coupled to a drive system of the vehicle. The battery system is configured to: determine a voltage requirement of the battery system at least partially based on a current operating mode or an anticipated operating mode; and adjust the configuration of the cells in order to increase or decrease the voltage of the battery system according to the requirement. A method of operating a hybrid vehicle is also provided.
