A vehicle configured to relay communication between a load using power while the vehicle is parked and a battery includes a first controller configured to control an operation of a first load operated while the vehicle is parked and a power management controller configured to identify at least one first battery configured to supply power to the first controller based on information on the vehicle upon receiving a power request message from the first controller and transmit a power use prohibition message or a power use permission message to the first controller based on a charged amount of the at least one first battery and a power demand amount of the first controller.

Vehicle and method of controlling vehicle

Disclosed are a vehicle in which battery state information, battery history information, and specific state information are displayed on a display, and a control method of the vehicle. The vehicle includes a sensor unit to detect information of a battery, a display, and a controller which determines battery aging information based on an output voltage of the battery, determines battery charging information based on an output current of the battery, the output voltage of the battery, and a temperature of the battery, determines battery history information based on a voltage change of the battery, a current change of the battery, and a temperature change of the battery, and determines a battery state score and a battery history score, to determine whether to display the battery state information and the battery history information on the display.

Vehicle and control method thereof

A vehicle includes: an electrical load; a generator; a battery; and a controller configured to, control the operation of the generator based on the charging rate of the battery, identify a power generation margin representing a ratio of the power that the generator can output to a maximum power based on the duty ratio of the input voltage applied to the generator, and reduce power consumption of the electrical load based on a comparison between the power generation margin and a target margin. The vehicle can prevent or minimize the voltage drop phenomenon of the generator by using the power generation margin of the generator.

System of determining power generation margin for vehicle, control method thereof and power control apparatus

An embodiment method for controlling a vehicle includes receiving state information of the vehicle and state information of a battery, identifying a present state of charge of the battery and calculating a preset reference value of the battery based on the state information of the vehicle and the state information of the battery, and displaying a message based on a difference between the present state of charge of the battery and the preset reference value of the battery.
