Charge circuit systems and methods of using the same

Abstract

The present invention relates to electrical circuit systems and methods of using the same. In particular, the present invention provides a system comprising an independent hybrid battery circuit (e.g., powered by a single, multi-output alternator), vehicles comprising the same and systems (e.g., air conditioning systems, heating systems, and fuel line heat systems) powered by the same. In particular, the present invention provides systems comprising a hybrid battery circuit containing one or a plurality of rechargeable batteries (e.g., that power circuit specific component devices) and vehicles comprising the same wherein the hybrid battery circuit is independent from (e.g., not limited by) a vehicle's starter battery circuit. Systems and methods of the present invention find use in reducing vehicle emissions (e.g., carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and/or particulate emissions), conserving fuel usage, increasing engine life and decreasing engine maintenance costs.
