Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by a computer perform steps to affect temperature, the steps comprising: providing a portion of an amount of energy to at least one load wherein the load is an environment control element; determining the amount of energy stored in a power source; determining a first state of charge value in response to a steady-state state of charge observed during a start up event; determining a battery type; determining a second state of charge value in response to the battery type; determining an adaptive threshold in response to the first state of charge and the second state of charge; comparing the energy stored in the power source to the adaptive threshold; and providing disconnect of the power source from the loads when the comparing step determines that the energy stored in the power source is less than the adaptive threshold.
