VEHICLE POWER SYSTEM INCLUDING ULTRA-CAPACITOR FOR MITIGATING TRANSIENT CURRENT EVENTS

摘要

A vehicle power system includes loads, a battery coupled to the loads, an ultra-capacitor coupled to the battery, and a bypass circuit. The loads, the ultra-capacitor, and the battery are electrically coupled in series. The bypass circuit monitors the ultra-capacitor and prevents the ultra-capacitor from over-discharging and reversing in polarity
