  • Publication number: 20260202491
    Abstract: A battery system may include a plurality of high-voltage (HV) battery packs, each HV battery pack including a plurality of battery cells enclosed within a housing. A battery management system (BMS) can be electrically connected to each of the HV battery packs configured to control the plurality of HV battery packs. The BMS can include a controller configured to identify an isolation breakdown based at least on whether a low resistance connection exists between a portion of a series connection of the plurality of battery cells and a chassis ground of the electric vehicle; and determine an electrical location of a fault in the plurality of HV battery packs based at least on a battery pack positive voltage and a battery pack negative voltage.
