Battery current limits estimation based on RC model

A vehicle including a battery cell, wherein a current limit estimation for operation of the battery cell over the course of a specified prediction time is estimated by a sub-method comprising:

• generating, using a first current limit estimation sub-method, a first current limit estimation over the course of the specified prediction time;
• generating, using a second current limit estimation sub-method, a second current limit estimation over the course of the specified prediction time, the second current limit estimation sub-method separate from the first current limit estimation sub-method;
• determining the battery current limit by selecting the one of the first current limit estimation or the second current limit estimation associated with the lowest magnitude;
• and
• operating, based on the determined battery current limit, the battery cell to power the vehicle,
• wherein:
• at least one of the first current limit estimation sub-method or the second current limit estimation sub-method generates the respective one of the first current limit estimation or the second current limit estimation based on an RC equivalent circuit model of the battery cell;
• and
• at least one parameter of the RC equivalent circuit model is set based on the specified prediction time and at least one of a state of charge (SOC) of the battery, a temperature of the battery cell, a state of health (SOH) of the battery cell, a capacity of the battery cell, or a current of the battery cell.
