APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CUTTING OFF DARK CURRENT IN VEHICLE

Apparatus and method embodiments for reducing current-drainage from a battery of a vehicle, can include a network monitor configured to monitor a network state, a vehicle usage pattern learner configured to determine a usage pattern of the vehicle by time of each day of a week based on a monitoring result of the network monitor and determine cut-off load ranges for respective sections of the usage pattern to store in a memory, and a cut-off determiner configured to compare a time point at which the vehicle is turned off to a time range of each of the sections and accordingly determine at least one power load to cut off. In an embodiment, the vehicle usage pattern learner can be further configured to determine the sections based on a vehicle usage probability.
