Abstract
A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, monitoring a root mean square (RMS) current of a component for a time window, and adjusting a flow of current relative to a battery such that a slope of the RMS current gradually approaches zero as the RMS current approaches an RMS current limit for the time window.
