Abstract:
1. A method of dividing 24 volt power of an alternator into 12 volt power and supplying the power to an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for a vehicle, the method comprising: receiving, by the distribution control unit, 24V from an alternator electrically connected to the distribution control unit; determining whether an ignition key has been turned on by the distribution control unit; in response to determining that the ignition key has been turned on, comparing, by the distribution control unit, voltage of a first battery unit, configured to apply 12 volt power to an ABS actuation unit, with voltage of a second battery unit, connected to the first battery unit; determining, by the distribution control unit, whether the ABS actuation unit is operating when the voltage of the first battery unit is lower than the voltage of the second battery unit; and charging the first battery unit with power from the distribution control unit when the ABS actuation unit is operating, and balancing the voltage of the first battery unit and the voltage of the second battery unit when the ABS actuation unit is not operating.
