The vehicle also includes a plurality of power converters each electrically coupled between a corresponding group of cells and an electrical bus. A controller is programmed to satisfy a current demand of the electrical bus by operating a subset of the power converters to each draw a current that exceeds a threshold corresponding to a power converter efficiency exceeding a predetermined efficiency. Power converters not assigned to the subset are operated at zero current.",
