A hybrid vehicle has an improved water-cooled battery layout. The hybrid vehicle includes: a housing positioned in an outdoor space of a vehicle body; a battery for providing an electric driving force to the vehicle and positioned inside the housing; a cooling block disposed below the battery to discharge the heat generated from the battery; a cooling pipe for supplying coolant to the cooling block and formed along an upper portion of the housing; and a cooling nipple formed integrally with the housing to be fastened to the cooling pipe.

Hybrid vehicle having an improved water-cooled battery layout

A vehicle includes a vehicle battery; a vehicle sensor configured to detect a current, a voltage and a temperature of the vehicle battery; and an alternator configured to output a target voltage to the vehicle battery. A controller is configured to calculate state of charge (SOC) estimation based on the current, voltage and temperature of the vehicle battery, calculate an initial SOC based on a direct current internal resistance (DCIR) map and apply the initial SOC to the SOC estimation, when an open circuit voltage (OCV) is maintained in a predetermined range after engine-off, and adjust an available SOC range based on a difference between an actual battery charge current amount, to which the initial SOC is applied, and the calculated SOC estimation.

System for estimating initial SOC of lithium battery of vehicle and control method thereof

A body of a vehicle equipped with a high-voltage battery is disclosed. The vehicle body includes a rear cross member mounted below the rear side of the front seat so as to be oriented in the lateral direction of the vehicle body, a front cross member mounted in front of the rear cross member so as to be oriented in the lateral direction of the vehicle body, a high-voltage battery mounted between the front cross member and the rear cross member, and a plurality of longitudinal support members mounted to support the bottom of the high-voltage battery and to connect the front cross member and the rear cross member to each other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.
