Claims:We Claim:
1. A battery source monitoring system 100 for a vehicle, the system 100 comprising:
at least one current sensor 101 configured to detect current flow from one or more accessory devices 109 connected to an auxiliary battery source 111; and
a control unit 102, interfaced to a primary battery source 110, the auxiliary battery source 111, the at least one current sensor 101 and an ignition sensor 117, on detecting vehicle ignition OFF condition, is configured to:
determine ON condition of one or more accessory devices 109;
switch power source of the one or more accessory devices 109 in ON condition from the primary battery source 110 to the auxiliary battery source 111;
comparing the current flow received from the at least one current sensor 101 with a predetermined threshold; and
perform, when the current flow detected by the at least one current sensor 101 surpasses the predetermined threshold:
disconnect the one or more accessory devices 109 from the auxiliary battery source 111 and the primary battery source 110; and
switch power source of the one or more accessory devices 109 from the auxiliary battery source 111 to the primary battery source 110, thereby monitoring the battery source of the vehicle.

2. The system 100 as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one current sensor 101 is powered by the auxiliary battery source 111.

3. The system 100 as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more accessory devices 109 are powered by the primary battery source 110 at vehicle ignition ON condition.

4. The system 100 as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a user interface 107 to receive user preferences for deactivating the one or more accessory devices 109 during the vehicle ignition OFF condition.

5. The system 100 as claimed in claim 4, wherein the one or more de-activated accessory devices 109 are preferred by the user to be in OFF condition during vehicle ignition OFF condition.

6. The system 100 as claimed in claim 4, wherein the user interface 107 is configured to notify a user about the current flow to the one or more de-activated accessory devices 109 connected to the auxiliary battery source 111.

7. A method for monitoring a battery source of a vehicle, the method comprising:
determining, by a control unit 102, ON condition of one or more accessory devices 109;
switching, by the control unit 102, power source of the one or more accessory devices 109 in ON condition from the primary battery source 110 to the auxiliary battery source 111;
receiving, by the control unit 102, current flow through an auxiliary battery source 111 from at least one current sensor 101;
comparing, by the control unit 102, the current flow with a predetermined threshold; and
performing, by the control unit 102, when the current flow detected by the at least one current sensor 101 surpasses the predetermined threshold:
disconnecting the one or more accessory devices 101 from the auxiliary battery source 111 and the primary battery source 110; and
switching power source of the one or more accessory devices 101 from the auxiliary battery source 111 to the primary battery source 110, thereby monitoring the battery source of the vehicle.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the at least one current sensor 101 is powered by the auxiliary power source 111.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7 further comprising receiving, by a user interface 107, user preferences for deactivating one or more accessory devices 109 during the vehicle ignition OFF condition.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising powering the one or more de-activated accessory devices 109 by the primary battery source 110 at vehicle ignition ON condition.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising providing a notification on the user interface 107 about the current flow to the one or more de-activated accessory devices 109 connected to the auxiliary battery source 111.

12. A control unit for monitoring a battery source of a vehicle, comprising:
a processing unit 105; and
a memory 106 communicatively coupled to the processing unit 105, wherein the memory 106 stores processor instructions, which, on execution, causes the processing unit 105 to:
determine ON condition of one or more accessory devices 109;
switch power source of the one or more accessory devices 109 in ON condition from the primary battery source 110 to the auxiliary battery source 111;
receive current flow through one or more accessory devices 109 connected to the auxiliary battery source 111 from at least one current sensor 101;
compare the current flow with a predetermined threshold; and
perform, when the current flow from the at least one current sensor 101 surpasses the predetermined threshold:
disconnect the one or more accessory devices 109 from the auxiliary battery source 111 and the primary battery source 110; and
switch power source of the one or more accessory devices 109 from the auxiliary battery source 111 to the primary battery source 110, thereby monitoring the battery source of the vehicle.

13. The control unit 102 as claimed in claim 12, wherein the one or more accessory devices 109 are powered by the primary battery source 110 at vehicle ignition ON condition.
