Abstract
A vehicle power supply apparatus includes a power converter circuit, a power storage unit, and a processor. The power converter circuit converts a voltage of electric power received from a normal power supply of a vehicle configured to perform idle-stop operation, and supplies the converted electric power to vehicle loads of the vehicle. The power storage unit is coupled to the power converter circuit. The vehicle loads include a first vehicle load related to travel of the vehicle and a second vehicle load not related to the travel of the vehicle. At an end of the idle-stop operation, the processor supplies the converted electric power to one of the first vehicle load and the second vehicle load, and supplies electric power from the normal power supply to the other of the first vehicle load and the second vehicle load.
