Abstract

A battery system includes a rechargeable energy storage system and a battery controller. The rechargeable energy storage system has a rapid charging mode and a discharging mode. The battery controller is electrically coupled to the rechargeable energy storage system and is configured to store multiple charging tables that contain multiple charge current limit entries, where each charging table corresponds to a unique one of multiple initial state-of-charge values, determine a starting state-of-charge value of the rechargeable energy storage system in response to entering the rapid charging mode, select up to two charging tables in response to the starting state-of-charge value of the rechargeable energy storage system being adjacent to up to two of the initial state-of-charge values, and control a charging current provided to the rechargeable energy storage system based on the charge current limit entries in the up to two charging tables as selected.
