1. A method for controlling operation of a hybrid powertrain system based upon electric power limits for an electric energy storage device, comprising:
- providing long term power limits of the electric energy storage device;
determining short term power limits of the electric energy storage device based upon the long term power limits; and
controlling power output of the hybrid powertrain system based upon the short term power limits of the electric energy storage device during an electrical energy storage device power excursion outside of the long term power limits.
