ABSTRACT:
An electrical circuit for a vehicle comprises a first branch or sub-circuit and at least one second branch or sub-circuit. The first branch or sub-circuit includes the vehicle battery, an electrical generator to be driven by the vehicle's engine or transmission and for charging the battery, a starter motor to be driven by the battery for initiating engine operation, and a number of electrical components operable at voltages equal to or greater than the battery's nominal output voltage. At least one of the second branches or sub-circuits includes a number of other electrical components (e.g. lamps) that are susceptible to damage if the voltage supply thereto is too high, this second branch or sub-circuit being connected to the first branch or sub-circuit via an element, e.g. a diode, providing a substantially constant voltage drop.
