Systems for vehicle battery charging around charge-adverse time periods

A system for controlling charging of a battery of a vehicle by a power source external to the vehicle, the system comprising:

• a control unit operable to:
• receive an indication of a minimum charge threshold for the battery;
• receive an indication of a charge-adverse time period;
• during the charge-adverse time period, while the battery is electrically coupled to the power source:
• determine whether a charge level of the battery is above the minimum charge threshold;
• if the charge level is below the minimum charge threshold, enable charging of the battery at a first charge rate;
• and
• if the charge level is above the minimum charge threshold, restrict charging of the battery to a second charge rate less than the first charge rate;
• and
• subsequent the charge-adverse time period, while the battery is electrically coupled to the power source:
• enable charging of the battery at the first charge rate regardless of whether the charge level is above the minimum charge threshold.
