1. A method for controlling thermal conditioning of a battery system associated with brakes of a vehicle towing a trailer, comprising:
determining, by a processor, that a temperature of the battery system is outside of a defined temperature range;
determining, by the processor, a delta value between a brake request and a battery charge limit;
generating, by the processor, a control signal to at least one of a heater and a compressor of the vehicle based on the delta value;
generating, by the processor, a control signal to the battery system to initiate regeneration braking; and
generating, by the processor, a braking reduction request to reduce braking by the trailer.
