A battery system may include an energy storage component the couples to an electrical system. The battery system may also include a first semiconductor switching device and a second semiconductor switching device. The first semiconductor switching device and the second semiconductor switching device each selectively couple the energy storage component to the electrical system. Additionally, the battery system may include a first diode coupled in parallel with the first semiconductor switching device and a second diode coupled in parallel with the second semiconductor switching device. Further, the battery system may include a battery management system that controls operation of the first semiconductor switching device and the second semiconductor switching device to selectively couple the energy storage component to the electrical system. The battery management system may selectively couple the energy storage component to the electrical system based on an output current measurement of the energy storage component.
