Abstract
A system includes a traction battery and a controller. The traction battery includes first and second arrays of battery cells. The controller is programmed to implement first and second filters, such as first and second bar-delta filters, configured to respectively generate output indicative of a state-of-charge (SOC) of the first and second arrays from models of the first and second arrays. The controller is further programmed to charge and/or discharge the traction battery according to power limits defined by the SOC of the first and second arrays.
