Abstract: Examples of battery pack systems that include polymers are a cooling system, a thermal management system, and a liquid leakage control system. The cooling system and the thermal management systems may include an upper critical solution temperature polymer or a lower critical solution temperature polymer. The liquid leakage control system includes a superabsorbent polymer.

Abstract: A high-voltage battery assembly includes a high-voltage battery electrically connected to a high-voltage bus including a positive rail and a negative rail, wherein the negative rail includes a controllable contactor switch. A boost charging module includes a DC-DC boost converter, a low-voltage power input line, a boost switch and a boost controller. The DC-DC boost converter is electrically connected to the low-voltage power input line via activation of the boost switch. The DC-DC boost converter connects to the positive rail. A low-voltage electrical connector is electrically connected to the low-voltage power input line of the DC-DC boost converter. The boost controller detects low-voltage power from the low-voltage electrical connector, detects that the controllable contactor switch, closes the boost switch, and controls the DC-DC boost converter to convert the low-voltage power on the low-voltage power input line to high-voltage power to charge the high-voltage battery.
