    Abstract: Systems and methods for switching high-voltage contactors in a battery system with reduced degradation over time are presented. In certain embodiments, a system may include solid-state switches disposed is parallel with the high-voltage contactors. The solid-state switches may be configured to selectively close when the high-voltage contactors are in transition from a closed state to an open state. By closing the solid-state switches during this transition, electrical arcing and associated degradation and/or damage to the contactors may be reduced.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for charging multiple rechargeable energy storage systems (“RESSs”) included in one or more vehicles using a single charging system are presented. In some embodiments, a method for charging one or more RESSs may include receiving an indication that one or more charging ports of a plurality of charging ports included in a charging system have RESSs coupled thereto. Based on the indication, a charging map may be generated. One or more charging parameters may be determined based on the generated charging map. Based on the charging parameters, a switching mechanism included in the charging system may be selectively actuated to provide electrical power from a charging power source to charging ports coupled to RESSs.
