A computer may store records at respective locations in the memory. The records may respectively include, for one of a plurality of variables, an identifier and a size. Responsive to a notification of a software update, the computer may retrieve from the memory a first map of the variables specifying their respective locations in the memory and respective sizes for each of the variables along with the identifiers. The computer may receive, from a remote device, a second map of the variables specifying respective second locations in the memory, and second sizes, for the respective variables along with the identifiers. The computer may store the variables to the respective second locations in memory and store the second map in place of the first map.

Updates in an electronically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM)

A vehicle battery system includes a battery, storage, and one or more controllers. The storage maintains data defining power outputs for the battery at a plurality of predefined combinations of temperature and state of charge. The one or more controllers repeatedly update the data for some of the plurality based on temperatures and states of charge repeatedly encountered by the vehicle, update the data for other of the plurality based on data from a remote server, and discharge the battery according to the data for the some and other of the plurality.

System and method for operating vehicle based on battery health

A method of detecting a thermal event associated with a battery assembly of an electrified vehicle includes, among other things, obtaining a temperature reading from a sensor associated with an area of the battery assembly, assessing whether the sensor is flagged with a first identifier or a second identifier. The first identifier indicates that the temperature reading is reliable. The second identifier indicates that the temperature reading is unreliable. If the sensor is flagged with the first identifier, the method detects a thermal event associated with the battery assembly based on the temperature reading from the sensor.
