PROVIDING A CHARGING EVENT FOR A VEHICLE BATTERY
First Claim
1. A processor-readable medium having tangibly embodied thereon and accessible therefrom a set of instructions interpretable by at least one data processing device, said processor-readable medium being non-transient, said set of instructions configured for causing said at least one data processing device to carry out operations for:
- inhibiting a first battery load from drawing electrical current from a battery charging system of a vehicle;
starting an engine of the vehicle after said inhibiting of the first battery load; and
causing an output of an alternator of the vehicle to be maintained above a target idle output after starting the engine.

Abstract
A method for providing a battery charging event comprises a plurality of operations. An operation is performed for inhibiting a first battery load from drawing electrical current from a battery charging system of a vehicle. An operation is performed for activating ignition circuitry of the vehicle after said inhibiting of the first battery load. An operation is performed for starting the engine after said ignition circuitry activation. An operation is performed for inhibiting a second battery load from drawing electrical current from the battery charging system after said starting of the engine. An operation is performed for causing an output of an alternator of the vehicle to be adjusted dependent upon a present location of the vehicle.
