An automotive battery switching and distribution system which includes a battery system in combination with an integrated power switching system, for providing protection for the battery system by synchronizing the battery system's discharge rate with the electrochemical reactions of the battery system. The battery system has at least two discharge characteristics, one capable of short high current discharge of electric power for cranking an internal combustion engine, and the other for providing a lower rate of current discharge as required for vehicle auxiliary power. The power switching system acts in response to increased voltage or current levels to connect or disconnect the battery with related loads or power sources as necessary for optimum battery protection and system operation. Each portion of t he battery system is separately connected to the electrical system of the automobile so that draining one portion of the battery system will not affect the electrical system that is connected to the other portion of the battery system. |
