Abstract
A system for a vehicle including a traction battery, electrical loads, and a controller configured to, during a charge operation, activate the loads such that charge current output by a charger is consumed by the loads and charge current input to the battery approaches zero to update a state of charge (SOC) value of the battery, and deactivate the loads upon completion of the update such that charge current input to the battery increases.
