Systems and methods of battery thermal management

A method comprising:

• performing operations on a processor of a vehicle, the operations comprising:
• determining a current temperature of a battery of the vehicle;
• determining that the current temperature of the battery is within a threshold temperature range of the battery;
• and
• in response to determining that the current temperature of the battery is within the threshold temperature range of the battery, the processor performs operations comprising:
• determining an estimated temperature at arrival of the battery;
• determining that the estimated temperature at arrival of the battery is within the threshold temperature range of the battery, battery;
• determining an amount of time the vehicle will be within the threshold temperature range of the battery;
• determining that the amount of time the vehicle will be within the threshold temperature range of the battery exceeds a maximum amount of time within the threshold temperature range of the battery;
• and
• in response to determining that the amount of time the vehicle will be within the threshold temperature range of the battery exceeds the maximum amount of time within the threshold temperature range of the battery, initiating a thermal management process.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code configured, when executed by a processor, to:

• determine a current temperature of a battery of a vehicle;
• determine if the current temperature of the battery is within a threshold temperature range of the battery;
• and
• in response to determining that the current temperature of the battery is within the threshold temperature range of the battery, the processor performs operations comprising:
• determining an estimated temperature at arrival of the battery;
• determining that the estimated temperature at arrival of the battery is within the threshold temperature range of the battery;
• determining an amount of time that the vehicle will be within the threshold temperature range of the battery;
• determining that the amount of time that the vehicle will be within the threshold temperature range of the battery exceeds a maximum amount of time within the threshold temperature range of the battery;
• and
• in response to determining that the amount of time that the vehicle will be within the threshold temperature range of the battery exceeds the maximum amount of time within the threshold temperature range of the battery, initiating a thermal management process.
