Abstract
A system includes a memory storing a battery profile corresponding to a battery identifier of a high-voltage battery of a vehicle and a processor. The processor is programmed to periodically send the battery profile to a server, and, responsive to detecting a change in the battery identifier, request the server to send a battery profile corresponding to the battery identifier as changed.
Claims23
A system comprising:
- a memory storing a battery profile corresponding to a battery identifier of a high-voltage battery of a vehicle;
- and
- a processor of the vehicle programmed to
- send a battery age of the battery and the battery identifier of the battery to a server configured to maintain battery ages for a plurality of high-voltage batteries indexed according to battery identifier, each battery corresponding to a different unique battery identifier,
- responsive to detecting a swap of the high-voltage battery with a second high-voltage battery due to a change in the battery identifier, request the server to send a second battery age corresponding to the battery identifier as changed to provide the vehicle with the most recent battery age stored to the server for the second high-voltage battery,
- compute battery characteristics of the second high-voltage battery according to the second battery age, the battery characteristics including a storage capacity of the second battery and a battery and a batter power capability of the second high-voltage battery, and
- configure the battery profile with the battery characteristics.

A method comprising:
- responsive to detecting, by a vehicle, a swap of a battery of a vehicle with a second battery due to a change in a battery identifier, requesting a server, in communication with the vehicle over a wide-area network, to send a battery age corresponding to the battery identifier to the vehicle to provide the vehicle with the most recent battery age stored to the server for the second battery;
- computing battery characteristics of the second battery according to the battery age for the second battery, the battery characteristics including a storage capacity of the second battery and a battery power capability of the second battery;
- and
- utilizing a battery profile including the battery characteristics to adapt a battery control strategy for the battery according to at least the storage capacity of the second battery and the battery power capability of the second battery.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a vehicle, cause the vehicle to:
- responsive to detection of a swap of a battery of a vehicle with a second battery due to a change in a battery identifier of a battery of the vehicle, request a server in communication with the vehicle over a wide-area network to send a battery age corresponding to the battery identifier to the vehicle to provide the vehicle with the most recent battery age stored to the server for the second battery;
- compute battery characteristics of the second battery according to the battery age for the second battery, the battery characteristics including a storage capacity of the second battery and a battery power capability of the second battery;
- and
- utilize a battery profile including the battery characteristics to adapt a battery control strategy for the battery according to at least the storage capacity of the second battery and the battery power capability of the second battery.
