Abstract
An electric power distribution system includes a first path through which electric power is supplied to a main load; a second path through which electric power is supplied to the backup load; a third path that connects a second DC/DC converter and a first battery; a fourth path that connects the first battery and the first DC/DC converter in parallel to the main load; and a control unit that controls an output voltage of the second DC/DC converter according to an assumed output capacity derived from travel route information of a navigation system mounted on the vehicle. The assumed output capacity is a capacity that is able to supply electric power used for a driven load in the backup load, and is set to be lower than a threshold battery capacity that is lower than in a fully charged state of the second battery.
