1. A vehicle method comprising:
- by a controller,charging via an electric vehicle charge station a low-voltage battery when a module, powered by the low-voltage battery, is awake; and
in response to an SOC of the low-voltage battery exceeding a threshold, commanding the module to enter a sleep mode for a duration defined by an average power draw of the module while awake.

Abstract
A method of operating a vehicular system includes charging, by a controller and via an electric vehicle charge station, a low-voltage battery when a module powered by the low-voltage battery is awake and an SOC of the low-voltage battery is less than a threshold; and in response to the SOC exceeding the threshold, commanding by the controller the module to enter a sleep mode for a sleep duration defined by a power usage of the module such that as the power usage changes, the sleep duration changes.

7. A vehicle comprising:
-
a module powered by a low-voltage battery; and a controller configured to, while coupled with a charge station, route current to the low-voltage battery after expiration of a time period that has a duration defined by a change in current of the low-voltage battery associated with operation of the module and a parameter associated with the low-voltage battery. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A vehicle comprising:
a controller configured to, while coupled with a charge station, route current from the charge station to a low-voltage battery in response to (i) an SOC of the low-voltage battery being below a threshold and (ii) an expiration of a sleep duration that is defined by a change in current of the low-voltage battery and a parameter associated with the low-voltage battery. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
