A battery system includes a battery cell, a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) that cools the battery cell, a temperature sensor that detects a temperature of the battery cell, and a battery management unit (BMU) controller. The BMU controller activates the TEC to cool the battery cell in response to determining that a state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell is greater than a threshold SOC and the temperature of the battery cell is greater than a threshold temperature.

A temperature controlled enclosure that includes a temperature control device for controlling the temperature within an internal cavity of the temperature controlled enclosure. The temperature controlled enclosure also includes one or more charging ports for receiving and charging a battery pack. A controller within the temperature controlled enclosure controls the temperature within the internal cavity to a predetermined or desired temperature (e.g., 20° C.). When a battery pack is received in the one or more charging ports, the temperature of the battery pack can be determined. If, for example, the temperature of the battery pack is below 0° C., the battery pack is allowed to warm up inside the temperature controlled enclosure before the battery pack is charged.

Methods and systems are provided for a battery thermal management system. In one example, a method includes increasing coolant to a battery above a currently demanded battery cooling in response to a predicted battery temperature exceeding a threshold temperature at an upcoming location.

A vehicle air conditioner having a compressor to compress a refrigerant, an air flow passage to supply air to the vehicle; a radiator; an outdoor heat exchanger; a battery temperature adjustment device for letting a heat medium circulate through a battery mounted in the vehicle, thereby adjusting a temperature of the battery; and a control device. The battery temperature adjustment device has a refrigerant-heat medium heat exchanger for performing exchange of heat between the refrigerant and the heat medium. The control device is configured to execute: a radiator and outdoor heat exchanger heating/battery cooling mode, and an obstruct inflow heating/battery cooling mode.

A battery cooling control system includes an electric water pump (EWP) that circulates coolant to cool a battery, a chiller that cools the coolant, and a controller electrically connected with the EWP and the chiller. The controller enters a battery cooling control mode to monitor a current temperature of the battery, when battery charging is scheduled, determines the cooling control mode based on the current temperature of the battery, and controls cooling using at least one of the EWP or the chiller depending on the determined cooling control mode.
