Advanced storage battery shipping feature

A battery management method for a vehicle, the method comprising:

• measuring, by a set of sensors, a set of parameters of a battery of the vehicle;
• initiating, by a controller of the vehicle, a shipping mode of the vehicle during which the vehicle is expected to be in transport to a destination;
• during the shipping mode of the vehicle, controlling, by the controller, recharging of the battery to a first target state of charge (SOC) corresponding to optimized battery life when a mileage of the vehicle is less than a threshold mileage corresponding to the shipping mode, wherein controlling the recharging of the battery to the first target SOC prevents battery malfunctions and thereby reduces vehicle warranty costs for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the vehicle;
• end the shipping mode of the vehicle when the vehicle mileage reaches the threshold mileage;
• and
• controlling, by the controller, recharging of the battery to a second target SOC determined by a cost-based optimization technique when the vehicle is no longer in the shipping mode.
