ACG OUTPUT VOLTAGE CONTROL
First Claim
1. A system that provides generator control for a vehicle power system, comprising:
- a battery;
a generator that outputs power to charge the battery;
a sensor that detects a state of charge (SOC) value, a health value, a voltage, a current, a temperature, and a charging voltage of the battery; and
a controller that controls a voltage output mode of the generator in response to at least one of a state of charge (SOC) value, a health value, a voltage, a current, a temperature, and a charging voltage of the battery detected by the sensor, the voltage output mode is in response to the SOC and the temperature of the battery.

Abstract
A system provides generator control for a power system within a vehicle. The system includes a battery, a generator that outputs power to charge the battery. A sensor detects a state of charge (SOC) value, a health value, a voltage, a current, a temperature, and a charging voltage of the battery. A controller controls a voltage output mode of the generator in response to at least one of a state of charge (SOC) value, a health value, a voltage, a current, a temperature, and a charging voltage of the battery detected by the sensor, the voltage output mode is in response to the SOC and the temperature of the battery.
