1. A method for unlatching a power latch system of a door, comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a power mode to be one of a primary power mode where power is to be supplied from a primary power source, a backup power mode where power is to be supplied from a backup power source, and a series power mode where power is to be supplied from both the primary power source and the backup power source based on an evaluation of a received request; and
selectively controlling, by the processor, power to the power latch system based on the power mode.
