Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a battery pack supplying power to propel a vehicle are disclosed. One example method comprises, determining a difference between an estimated battery pack temperature and a sensed battery pack temperature as a basis for adjusting battery pack output power. The method also includes adjusting a speed of a cooling fan based on the difference between estimated battery pack temperature and sensed battery pack temperature.
