    Abstract: A vehicle including a high-voltage electric battery assembly including first and second battery cell modules and DC/DC electric power converter assembly is described. The DC/DC electric power converter assembly selectively converts electric power from the first battery cell module and the second battery cell module. A second end of the DC/DC electric power converter is electrically connected to a low-voltage system. The low-voltage system includes a first subsystem configured to provide a critical vehicle operation. A controller includes algorithmic code executable to monitor the high-voltage battery assembly, including, upon detecting a fault in the first battery cell module of the high-voltage battery assembly, controlling the DC/DC electric power converter assembly to electrically convert electric power from the second battery cell module to low-voltage electric power that is transferred to the first subsystem.
