Vehicle battery drainage avoidance
A system for drainage avoidance includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to power on. A wake up voltage is increased after a power on signal is received. The processor is configured to perform a boot sequence, determine whether the boot sequence completed successfully, and in the event the boot sequence completed successfully, provide a reset indication to reset the wake up voltage.
