Abstract: A method controlling a battery management system is provided. The method may include commanding by a controller a heat exchanger of a vehicle to pre-cool a traction battery of the vehicle key-off responsive to the vehicle being within a predetermined range of a predicted parking location, a current temperature of the traction battery being less than a temperature threshold, and a predicted parked temperature for the traction battery being greater than the temperature threshold.

Abstract: A traction battery assembly includes, among other things, a plurality of battery cells disposed along an axis, an endplate at an axial end of the plurality of battery cells, and a corrugated area of the endplate. The corrugated area has a plurality of corrugations that flatten to accommodate expansion of the plurality of battery cells along the axis.

Abstract: A method includes controlling charging a battery pack of an electrified vehicle, via a control system of the electrified vehicle, based on climate conditions, traffic conditions, and learned driving habits of a driver of the electrified vehicle. The control system is configured to create a smart charging schedule for either adding or not adding an additional charge to the battery pack in anticipation of an expected upcoming drive cycle.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an electric machine, a battery, an electrical circuit, an overcharge limit device, and a controller. The electric machine is configured to propel the vehicle. The battery has a plurality of cells and is configured to provide electrical power to the electric machine. The electrical circuit is configured to deliver the electrical power from the battery to the electric machine. The overcharge limit device is configured to individually disconnect each of the plurality cells from the circuit in response to an internal pressure of a respective cell exceeding a pressure threshold. The controller is programmed to, in response to detecting a first set of parameters that are indicative of a first of the cells being disconnected from the electrical circuit via the overcharge limit device, discontinue control the first of the cells.
