Abstract
A method for monitoring and controlling a vehicle battery pack that includes a plurality of battery cells. The battery cells each include a switching unit which serves to connect and disconnect the respective battery cells. Pack information of the battery pack is acquired, a pack voltage of the battery pack is calculated on the basis of the cell voltages and a current activation pattern for actuating the switching units. An electrical power requirement of the vehicle is predicted based on GPS information. A state of the battery pack is estimated based on the pack information and the current activation pattern and an optimized activation pattern for actuating the switching units on the basis of the predicted electrical power requirement and the estimated state of the battery pack is calculated. The switching units of the respective battery cells are actuated according to the optimized activation pattern.
