1. A method to adjust power management of off-board devices powered by a vehicle comprising:
- entering a plurality of user selected charging levels for each of the off-board devices, each user selected charging level corresponding to one of a plurality of threshold levels of a state of charge (SOC) level of a battery pack of the vehicle;
determining a current SOC of a battery pack of the vehicle; and
adjusting charging levels of individual off-board devices from first user selected charging levels to second user selected charging levels when the current SOC of the battery pack changes from a first threshold value to a second threshold value.

Abstract
A method to adjust power management of off-board devices being powered by a vehicle is provided. The method includes entering a plurality of user selected charging levels for each of the off-board devices, each user selected charging level corresponding to one of a plurality of threshold levels of a state of charge (SOC) level; determining a current SOC of a battery pack of the vehicle; adjusting charging levels of individual off-board devices from first user selected charging levels to second user selected charging levels when the current SOC of the battery pack changes from a first threshold value to a second threshold value.

8. A system to provide adjustable power management of off-board devices comprising:
-
an electric motor; a battery pack coupled to the electric motor; a control module coupled to the electric motor; a memory coupled to a processor, the memory storing program instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to; enter a plurality of user selected charging levels for each of the off-board devices, each user selected charging level corresponding to one of a plurality of threshold levels of a state of charge (SOC) level of a battery pack of the vehicle; determine a current SOC of a battery pack of the vehicle; and charge individual off-board devices to corresponding user selected charging levels associated with the current SOC of the battery pack. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system to provide adjustable power management of off-board devices comprising:
-
an electric motor; a battery pack coupled to the electric motor; at least one sensor monitoring the battery pack; a control module coupled to the electric motor and the at least one sensor, the control module comprising; a memory coupled to a processor, the memory storing program instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to; enter a plurality of user selected charging levels for each of the off-board devices, each user selected charging level corresponding to one of a plurality of threshold levels of a state of charge (SOC) level of a battery pack of the vehicle; determine a current SOC of a battery pack of the vehicle measured by the at least one sensor; and charge individual off-board devices to first user selected charging levels corresponding to the current SOC of the battery monitored by the at least one sensor. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
