Abstract: A dual battery electrical system for a vehicle having an engine comprises a primary load and a secondary load and is switchable between an ON state in which the engine is running, an OFF state in which the engine is not running, a START state in which the primary load requires power to start the engine, and a PAUSE state in which the engine is not running. A first battery powers the primary load, a second battery powers the secondary load, a battery switch is closable to connect the first battery to the second battery such that both batteries can provide power to both loads. The transition to and from the OFF state is via a user activated mechanism and transition to and from the PAUSE state is via a user-independent mechanism. A controller controls operation of the battery switch when the system enters and/or leaves the PAUSE state.

Abstract: A thermoelectric generator includes a thermal generator to which thermal energy is provided from a heat source. In order to keep the output voltage of the thermal generator in a range suitable for charging a battery or for directly feeding into the vehicle's electrical system, the rate of heat production of the heat source and/or the cooling power of a cooling device for the thermal generator is controlled by a regulator. For this purpose, the regulator is connected to a temperature sensor which is mounted on the thermal generator. The regulator can be more cost-effectively configured than a D.C. converter between the output side of the thermal generator and the battery so that this converter can be dispensed with.
