SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BATTERY THERMAL MANAGEMENT ON A VEHICLE

An electrified vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage system supported by the chassis, and a battery cooling system. The energy storage system includes a battery positioned within a battery housing. The battery cooling system includes a conduit positioned adjacent at least one of the battery or the battery housing and a fluid diverter positioned along the conduit. The fluid diverter is configured to facilitate selectively providing fluid communication between the conduit and the battery housing so that a fluid flowing through the conduit flows out of the conduit and at least one of into or around the battery housing.
