Abstract
A vehicle has a control system configured to perform, and a method for controlling a battery in a vehicle includes, the steps of modifying a state of charge of at least some battery cells in the battery, based on: a vehicle idle state, and the battery having at least a predetermined decay rate. The SOC of the at least some battery cells is modified such that the battery has less than the predetermined decay rate after the SOC is modified.
Claims20
A method for controlling a battery in a vehicle, comprising:
- modifying a state of charge (SOC) of at least some battery cells in the battery based on a vehicle idle state and the battery having at least a predetermined decay rate, the SOC of the at least some battery cells being modified such that the battery has less than the predetermined decay rate after the SOC is modified.
A method for controlling a battery in a vehicle, comprising:
- modifying a state of charge (SOC) of at least some battery cells in the battery based on a predetermined event and the battery having at least a predetermined decay rate, the SOC of the at least some battery cells being modified such that the battery has less than the predetermined decay rate after the SOC is modified.
A vehicle having a battery including a plurality of battery cells, comprising:
- a control system having at least one controller configured to modify an SOC of at least some of the battery cells based on a predetermined event and the battery having at least a predetermined decay rate, such that the battery has less than the predetermined decay rate after the SOC of the at least some of the battery cells is modified.
