A hybrid vehicle includes a fraction battery, a powertrain coupled to the battery, and a controller or a battery management system having a controller. The controller is programmed to set a state of charge (SOC) target for the battery according to losses associated with the powertrain and an angle of inclination of the vehicle. The controller is programmed to respond to a SOC of the battery and a speed of the vehicle. When the SOC is greater than the target and the speed is greater than a threshold the controller is programmed to discharge the battery to achieve the target.
