VEHICLE CONTROL BASED ON BATTERY TEMPERATURE ESTIMATION

A vehicle includes a battery, a motor, and one or more controllers. The controllers, responsive to data indicative of an internal cell temperature of one or more cells of the battery exceeding a threshold, decrease power output from the battery to the motor. The data is based on a surface temperature of at least one of the cells and a cell heating power parameter derived from a plurality of parameters and via a delay timer and a filter.
