Claim 0:
1. A system in a vehicle comprising:
memory configured to store values obtained for a battery that supplies current to one or more loads of the vehicle, the values including state of charge (SoC) of the battery; and
a processor configured to obtain a measured battery current from a current sensor of the battery and a measured total current from a current sensor at a battery center configured to supply the current directly to the one or more loads, to obtain a generator current or a direct current-to-direct current (DC-DC) converter current from the measured total current and the battery current, to determine a maximum available current as a sum of a maximum available battery current and either the generator current or the DC-DC converter current, and to stop a supply of the current to one or more of the one or more loads based on a result of a comparison of the maximum available current with current draw by the one or more loads.
