Abstract
A vehicle includes a traction battery and a cell monitor associated with battery cell strings each having associated connected battery cells. Each monitor is configured to generate a compressed encoded representation of the traction battery cell voltage measurements using artificial intelligence, such as a neural network. A battery controller in communication with each cell monitor receives the compressed encoded representation and generates reconstructed battery cell voltage measurements and controls the traction battery in response to the reconstructed traction battery cell voltage measurements. An unencoded battery cell voltage measurement may be communicated with the compressed encoded representation of the battery cell voltage measurements and used to validate the reconstructed measurements.
