THERMAL WAKEUP FOR BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONTROLLER

A monitoring circuit for a battery system of a work machine includes a system controller configured to operate in a low power mode when the battery system is inactive, a sensing circuit element configured to produce an electrical sensor signal representative of an environmental parameter of the battery system, and a wakeup circuit configured to generate a controller activation signal when the sensor signal indicates that the environmental parameter is outside of a specified operating range. The system controller is configured to initiate a controller boot operation in response to the controller activation signal.
