A method for operating a vehicle includes drawing operational power from a first set of battery cells and providing heating/cooling to the first set of battery cells and not to a second set of battery cells to maintain the first set of battery cells within an operational temperature window in a first mode of operation. The method switches to a second mode of operation in response to a power assist request, and draws operational power from the first set of battery cells and a second set of battery cells and provides heating/cooling to maintain the first set of battery cells and the second set of battery cells within the operational temperature window during the second mode of operation.
