A vehicle comprises: a low-voltage battery to provide low-voltage power; devices configured to operate using the low-voltage power, each of the devices coupled to the low-voltage battery by a corresponding conductor, wherein the devices comprise all consumers of the low-voltage power in the vehicle; switches to selectively interrupt the low-voltage power between the low-voltage battery and any of the devices, each of the switches positioned in a respective conductor of the conductors; and a central processing unit configured to detect an overload condition regarding any of the switches, and to open, in response to detecting the overload condition, the switch of the conductor between the low-voltage battery and the corresponding one of the devices.
