    Abstract: A system for controlling power transfer includes a direct current (DC)-DC converter connected to a charging bus and selectively connected to a propulsion battery assembly and a supplemental battery assembly, the propulsion battery assembly having a first chemistry and configured to supply power to an electric motor of a vehicle, the supplemental battery assembly having a second chemistry that is different than the first chemistry. The system also includes a charger connected to the charging bus at a first side of the DC-DC converter, the charging bus connected to a load at a second side of the DC-DC converter, and a controller configured to control the DC-DC converter to perform a charging operation.

    Abstract: A vehicle and a system performing a method of heating a battery of the vehicle. The vehicle includes a battery having a first cell having a first cell type and a second cell having a second cell type, a DC/DC converter having a first side and a second side, and a processor that controls flow of current. The first cell is connected to a first side of a DC/DC converter and the second cell is connected to the second side of the DC/DC converter. A first current is flowed between the first cell and the second through the DC/DC converter to heat the first cell and the second cell during a first heating phase. A second current is flowed between the second cell and the DC/DC converter to heat the second cell during a second heating phase.

    Abstract: A battery monitoring system for a vehicle includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions for causing the processor to estimate a state of charge of a battery based on a current cell pressure of the battery while the state of charge of the battery is below a threshold state of charge and to estimate a state of charge of the battery based on a voltage output by the battery while the state of charge of the battery is greater than or equal to the threshold state of charge.

    Abstract: A system and method for controlling operation of an internal combustion engine having at least one fuel injector. A controller is configured to selectively command the at least one fuel injector to deliver a primary fuel injection of a first fuel quantity and a secondary fuel injection of a second fuel quantity. The first fuel quantity is above a predefined threshold and the second fuel quantity is at or below the predefined threshold. The controller is configured to command a primary pulse width and a secondary pulse width, based in part on a respective desired fuel injection mass and respective initialized values of fuel injector slope. Operation of the fuel injectors is controlled based in part on a converged primary fuel injector slope and a converged secondary fuel injector slope determined at partially from a comparison of a calculated fuel mass and an estimated fuel mass.
