Abstract
Examples described herein provide a method that includes providing a first electric power pathway from a battery to a first auxiliary low voltage bus via a direct-current (DC)/DC converter and a first switch. The method further includes providing a second electric power pathway from the battery to a second auxiliary low voltage bus via the DC/DC converter and a second switch. The method further includes selectively controlling at least one of the first switch or the second switch to manage a load in one of the first auxiliary low voltage bus or the second auxiliary low voltage bus based at least in part on the battery or the load.
