PULSE CHARGING SYSTEM FOR A LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACK

A pulse charging system for a lithium-ion battery pack includes one or more controllers in electronic communication with the lithium-ion battery pack. The one or more controllers include one or more processors that execute instructions to estimate a plating intensity of the lithium-ion battery pack during two or more initial pulse charging cycles of the lithium-ion battery pack. The one or more controllers calculate an updated plating intensity of the lithium-ion battery pack corresponding to a subsequent pulse charging cycle that is determined based on the plating intensity of the lithium-ion battery pack. In response to determining the updated plating intensity falls within an acceptable range of plating intensity values, the one or more controllers execute an optimized pulse charging cycle that is based on the updated plating intensity.
