A hybrid vehicle battery system is provided. The battery system comprises a plurality of cells. The battery system cells are electrically coupled to an electric motor of the vehicle, the electric motor being mechanically coupled to a drive system of the vehicle. The hybrid vehicle has a first operating mode, in which the battery system cells provide power to the drive system, and a second operating mode, in which the battery system cells receive power from the drive system. The battery system is configured to: determine a voltage requirement of the battery system at least partially based on a current operating mode or an anticipated operating mode; and adjust the configuration of the cells in order to increase or decrease the voltage of the battery system according to the requirement. A method of operating a hybrid vehicle is also provided.
