  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POWER MANAGEMENT OF A VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20250042350
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for power management of a vehicle. The system comprises an interface and a power management unit. The interface transmits one or more signals. The power management unit is communicatively coupled to the interface to receive the one or more signals. The power management unit processes one or more signals to control a run-lock mode. The run-lock mode includes selective power management of one or more components of the vehicle to maximize range and power take-off duration.

  • Vehicle electrical system
    Patent number: 12078116
    Abstract: A vehicle electrical system includes a battery, a customer connection point, a switch electrically connected in series between the battery and the customer connection point, a computer communicatively coupled to the switch, and a transceiver communicatively coupled to the computer. The computer is programmed to instruct the switch to open in response to a state of charge of the battery decreasing below a charge threshold, receive an input selecting a time limit, and instruct the transceiver to transmit a message to a remote server upon determining that the state of charge of the battery will decrease below the charge threshold in less than the time limit from a current time.
