Classification: CPC G  B  Y | IPC B  G

Claim 9:
10. A method, comprising:
determining for each of a low-voltage battery and a high-voltage battery of an energy source of a vehicle at a first point in time:
an initial state of charge (SOC);
a state of health (SOH);
energy transfer rates; and
self-discharge rates;
determining one or more boundary conditions for the vehicle at the first point in time and a second point in time, the one or more boundary conditions causing a loss in the energy source during a time frame extending between the first point in time and the second point in time, the one or more boundary conditions comprising at least a current ambient temperature at the first point in time and an estimated ambient temperature at the second point in time; and
predicting a range for the vehicle at the second point in time using the one or more boundary conditions, the initial SOC, the SOH, the energy transfer rates, and the self-discharge rates.
