10. A vehicle comprising:
-
a power converter configured to transfer power from a charger and a traction battery to an auxiliary battery; and a controller programmed to, in response an auxiliary battery voltage falling below a predetermined threshold while a traction battery parameter indicates a full charge and the charger is coupled to a power source, isolate the traction battery from the power converter and the charger, and charge the auxiliary battery from the charger. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
