Abstract
Systems and methods for disengaging a battery are disclosed. The systems and methods may be used to disengage a battery from a direct-current (DC) bus of a vehicle when the DC bus is under a load. In one implementation, the system includes one or more contactors between the battery string and the DC bus. The system also includes a controller. The controller is configured to reduce a current limit of a power train of the vehicle to a first current level. The controller is also configured to open the one or more contactors. The controller is further configured to increase the current limit of the power train of the vehicle to a second current level.
