Abstract
Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative controller units, systems, vehicles, and methods. In an illustrative embodiment, a control unit includes a communication device, a processor, and non-transitory computer-readable media configured to store computer-executable instructions. The instructions cause the processor to receive a signal indicating connection of a battery to a direct current bus, determine availability of electrical power from a first non-grid source, and instruct charging the battery with the electrical power from the first non-grid source responsive to determining that the electrical power from the first non-grid source is available.
