Abstract
Methods and systems for preserving the life of a transport refrigeration system power source are provided. The method can include determining whether a control unit of the transport refrigeration system is off. Also, the method can include measuring an input voltage of a network coordinator when the control unit is off. Further the method can include instructing one or more parasitic electronic devices of the transport refrigeration mode to operate in a hibernation mode when the input voltage of the transport refrigeration system power source remains below a voltage threshold value for a time period and the control unit is off.
