Abstract
A battery pack auto sensing and switching system may include a vehicle having an electric motor to propel the vehicle, a battery pack and a controller. The battery pack includes a first battery set and a second battery set. The controller is configured to concurrently electrically connect the first battery set and the second battery set to the electric motor; and determine a fault condition with respect to the first battery set. In response to the fault condition, the controller is configured to electrically disconnect the first battery set from the electric motor.
