A battery thermal management system includes an inner housing containing a plurality of battery cells, and an outer housing enclosing the inner housing. A fluid channel is defined between an exterior surface of the inner housing and an interior surface of outer housing. The thermal management system also includes a fluid circulator in fluid flow communication with the fluid channel to selectively circulate one of a first thermal fluid and a second thermal fluid through the fluid channel.
