The instant invention is directed to a multiple battery system and network
controlled multiple battery system. A main battery having a main positive
output and a main negative output is also provided, together with an at
least one auxiliary battery having an at least one auxiliary positive
output and an at least one auxiliary negative output. A main electrical
circuit having an at least one switching device is provided with at least
two operating positions. The two operating positions selectively couple
the main and at least one auxiliary battery to the common positive
terminal. In the first of the at least two operating positions electrical
charge is provided to both the main battery and the at least one
auxiliary battery. A controller is also provided and coupled to the main
electrical circuit and switches the at least one switching device based
on input from an at least one sensor.
