    摘要: A system for a vehicle including a traction battery, electrical loads, and a controller configured to, during a charge operation, activate the loads such that charge current output by a charger is consumed by the loads and charge current input to the battery approaches zero to update a state of charge (SOC) value of the battery, and deactivate the loads upon completion of the update such that charge current input to the battery increases.

    摘要: A vehicle includes charger contactors configured to selectively electrically couple terminals for connecting to a charger to corresponding terminals of a high-voltage bus. The vehicle includes a precharge contactor configured to selectively couple a terminal of a battery to the high-voltage bus through an impedance element. The vehicle includes a controller programmed to command the charger contactors to an open state for a drive cycle and command the precharge contactor to close at a start of the drive cycle and, responsive to a voltage across the terminals for connecting to the charger changing from being less than a first predetermined voltage immediately prior to the precharge contactor being closed to being greater than a second predetermined voltage at a completion of precharging, inhibit vehicle operation and disconnect the battery from the high-voltage bus.

    摘要: A vehicle includes an electric machine, a battery, and a controller. The electric machine is configured to deliver power to wheels to drive the vehicle. The battery has an array of cells that are configured to deliver electrical power to the electric machine. The controller is programmed to, in response to a charge imbalance within the array of cells, simultaneously discharge a number of cells within the array based on a temperature of the controller.

    摘要: A vehicle includes a traction battery having a plurality of battery cells and a balance circuit configured to selectively discharge one or more of the battery cells. A controller is programmed to estimate charge capacities of the battery cells and determine a standard deviation of the estimated capacities. The controller is further programmed to determine a skewness of the estimated capacities. The controller is also programmed to, in response to the skewness exceeding a first threshold, command the balance circuit to discharge one or more of the battery cells when a state of charge (SOC) of the traction battery is less than a second threshold, and, in response to the skewness being less than the first threshold, command the balance circuit to discharge one or more of the battery cells when the SOC of the traction battery is greater than the second threshold.
