Abstract
A traction battery controller of an electrified vehicle controls the traction battery based in part on a value of a current-independent parameter, decomposed from a current-dependent parameter of a model of the traction battery, that is estimated based on voltage and current measurements of the traction battery. The controller may detect, based in part on the estimated value of the current-independent parameter, a power capability of the traction battery and control a vehicle component according to the power capability of the traction battery.
