Claim 17:
18. A method of controlling the cell temperature of a battery module using a battery pack thermal management system for a vehicle comprising at least one of the battery module comprising a plurality of cells and a casing comprising one or more cell-containing layers configured to house the cells, the casing further comprising one or more cooling layers, such that each cooling layer is configured to contain partial immersion cooling means in such a manner that said partial immersion cooling means are positioned directly around at least one electrode of the cells, and a battery controller with software algorithms configured to control the thermal management of the cells of the at least one battery module, said method comprising the steps of:
predicting, using the software algorithms, the battery power necessary to operate or recharge the vehicle,
assigning, using the software algorithms, the right temperature profile to the cells to maximize efficiency and/or minimize resistance/impedance; and
modifying, using the software algorithms, the temperature of the cooling means of the battery module based on the results of the assignment step.
