    摘要: A method for operating a hybrid vehicle, particularly one that includes both a primary and an auxiliary power source. According to one exemplary embodiment, the method seeks to decouple or disassociate a driver's engagement of an accelerator pedal with activation of an auxiliary power source, such as an internal combustion engine. This way, if the driver aggressively engages the accelerator pedal while the hybrid vehicle is being propelled by a battery and an electrical motor, the method will delay activation of the internal combustion engine so that the two events do not appear to be linked or connected to one another. Delaying activation of the internal combustion engine while the electric motor is under a heavy stress load may also improve the drive quality of the hybrid vehicle.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for performing a jump-start without the use of external equipment. The apparatus comprises a first battery electrically coupled to a starter motor for an engine, the first battery providing power to start the engine; a second battery; a power converter electrically coupled to the first battery and electrically coupled to the second battery; and a controller communicatively coupled to the power converter. The controller may be configured to determine a low battery condition of the first battery such that the first battery has insufficient power to start the engine, and when the low battery condition occurs, to direct the power converter to supply power from the second battery to the first battery to thereby allow the engine to be started.

    摘要: A method and system for accurately estimating one or more vehicle battery parameters, such as state-of-charge (SOC). In an exemplary embodiment, a battery control module gathers standard battery readings for estimating SOC at a relatively slow sampling rate. The battery control module receives adjustment data from one or more control modules located around the vehicle, where the control modules gather readings at faster sampling rates and then provide the information to the slower battery control module. The adjustment data from the faster control modules is representative of energy consumption and/or generation events that occur in between the readings taken by the battery control module at the slower sampling rate, and enable the method to make a more accurate and complete estimate of SOC.
