CYCLE LIFE MANAGEMENT FOR MIXED CHEMISTRY VEHICLE BATTERY PACK

A method for cycle life management of a mixed chemistry battery pack configured for electrically powering a traction motor of a vehicle. The method may include determining a driving load request made for requesting the mixed chemistry battery pack to provide a requested amount of electrical power to the traction motor for purposes of driving the vehicle and disconnecting the driving load request into a battery request suitable for providing the requested amount of electrical power from the mixed chemistry battery pack while managing a cycle life of the mixed chemistry battery pack independently of the driving load request.
