SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO CONTROL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OF VEHICLES

摘要

As described herein, a generator control system is provided in a vehicle having an engine that drives an electric power generator arranged to selectively provide electric power to an electrical load of the vehicle and to selectively charge a battery of the vehicle. The generator control system includes: a sensor that detects at least a state of charge (SOC) of the battery; and, a controller that controls at least a voltage output mode of the generator in response to the SOC detected by the sensor.
