Abstract: A system for charging and/or discharging electrochemical cells of a pack that provides power to a load of an apparatus, such as a vehicle. The system can include a circuit coupled to an electrochemical cell of the pack and configured to charge and/or discharge the electrochemical cell at a plurality of times occurring throughout a period in which the apparatus is dormant. The system can have a lower power draw. The system can have automatic timeouts to stop charging and/or discharging the cells when an auxiliary battery is disconnected.
