A motor vehicle electrical system having a starter and a first energy store, which are arranged in a first region of the motor vehicle electrical system, and a generator and a second energy store, which are arranged in a second region of the motor vehicle electrical system, wherein, a switching element is arranged between the first and the second region of the motor vehicle electrical system, wherein the switching element has at least two switching states, wherein, in a first switching state, a current can flow only from the first region toward the second region and, in a second switching state, the first and second region have a through-connection to one another, wherein the second energy store is connected to the generator via a DC/DC converter, wherein, via a second switching element, the starter is connected directly to the second energy store.

Motor vehicle electrical system and method for operating a motor vehicle electrical system

A motor vehicle electrical system, wherein a control unit senses or detects a start-stop command for the internal combustion engine, wherein when a start-stop command is sensed or detected a switching element is switched into the first switching state and the voltage at the DC/DC output, which is connected to the switching element, is increased by a control unit by means of a control command, wherein a measuring unit senses and evaluates the voltage condition over the switching element, wherein depending upon the evaluation the start-stop command is or is not carried out by a control unit using a control command. Also disclosed is a method for operating a motor vehicle electrical system.
