Control algorithm for low voltage switching in hybrid and conventional vehicles

摘要

A method of controlling a low voltage circuit (130, 230) of a vehicle having a generator, the low voltage circuit (130, 230) comprising a low voltage battery (134, 234), the method comprising: monitoring operating conditions of the vehicle; determining whether there is excess generator load is available; obtaining the available excess generator load; charging the low voltage battery (134, 234) with the excess generator load; using the excess generator load to antisulfate the low voltage battery (134, 234), wherein charging the low voltage battery (134, 234) with the excess generator load is recorded in an anti-sulfation algorithm; and feeding the low voltage circuit (130, 230) with the excess generator load.
