Abstract

A method, system, and motor vehicle for controlling a direct-current fast-charging process of a battery system are provided that significantly improves performance of the direct-current fast-charging process and minimizes condensation issues by utilizing lower coolant temperature for a short duration when a rechargeable energy storage system cell temperature is greater than a specific temperature threshold. The rechargeable energy storage system cell temperature, a rechargeable energy storage system state of charge a rechargeable energy storage system voltage, and a rechargeable energy storage system direct-current fast-charging current are utilized to determine when to utilize the lower coolant temperature when the rechargeable energy storage system cell temperature is greater than a specific temperature threshold instead of using a lower coolant temperature from the beginning of the direct-current fast-charging process.
