Abstract
A battery switching system for a vehicle controls a first battery device and a second battery device, which provide power to a vehicular load. The system includes multiple switch circuits and a battery control module. The switch circuits are operable for electrically coupling and decoupling each of the first battery device and the second battery device to the load and electrically coupling and decoupling the first battery device from the second battery device. Each of the switch circuits is operable in a closed state and an open state. The battery control module operates the switch circuits based predetermined conditions to form a first electrical path to electrically couple the first and second battery devices, a second electrical path to electrically couple the second battery device and the vehicular load, or a third electrical path to electrically couple the first battery device and the vehicular load.
