SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING A WARRANTY OBLIGATION OF A SUPPLIER TO AN ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER FOR A VEHICLE BATTERY PACK

摘要

A method for determining a warranty obligation of a supplier to an OEM for a vehicle battery pack of a vehicle is provided. The battery pack was previously purchased by the OEM from the supplier. The method includes retrieving an operational parameter associated with a component of the vehicle battery pack or a battery management system. The method further includes determining whether the operational parameter is less than or equal to a threshold value. The method further includes reimbursing the OEM or crediting a financial account associated with the OEM for at least a portion of the cost of the replacement battery pack by the supplier if the operational parameter is less than or equal to the threshold value.
