First Claim
1. An HVAC system to be installed in a vehicle comprising:
- a battery management controller comprising;
at least one connection for electrically coupling a first power source with a first voltage;
at least one connection for electrically coupling a second power source with a second voltage; and
a first memory storage device configured to record data collected by the battery management controller;
wherein the battery management controller is configured to run a temperature control system and to supply power to the temperature control system from a combination of the first and second power sources with a combined voltage, and wherein the second power source is disconnected when the combined voltage drops below a predetermined amount.

Abstract
An HVAC system to be installed in a vehicle comprises a battery management controller. The battery management controller comprises at least one connection for electrically coupling a first power source with a first voltage; at least one connection for electrically coupling a second power source with a second voltage; and a first memory storage device configured to record data collected by the battery management controller. The battery management controller is configured to run a temperature control system and to supply power to the temperature control system from a combination of the first and second power sources with a combined voltage, and wherein the second power source is disconnected when the combined voltage drops below a predetermined amount.

8. A power system to be installed in a vehicle comprising:
-
a first battery having a first battery voltage and a second battery having a second battery voltage; an electrical power generator configured to charge the first battery; an electrical load powered by at least one of the first battery, the second battery or the electrical power generator; a converter connected to both the first and second batteries and configured to operate in either a neutral mode or a first battery charging mode or a second battery charging mode, wherein the converter is configured to create a voltage difference between the first and second batteries in the charging modes; a battery management controller configured to monitor the first voltage of the first battery and the second voltage of the second battery and/or to monitor current flow to and from the first and second batteries, wherein the controller controls operation of the converter to operate in either the neutral mode, the first battery charging mode or the second battery charging mode; and a first memory storage device configured to record data collected by the battery management controller; wherein in the second battery charging mode, the converter is configured to adjust the voltage difference between the first battery and the second battery to cause current to flow from the first battery to the second battery to thereby charge the second battery.
