The present invention relates to a power-source apparatus for a vehicle comprising a generator driven by an engine of the vehicle having a function of an idle stop and generating power, a power-storage device storing the power generated by the generator thereat, and a control device. The power-storage device supplies the power to an electric load of the vehicle when the engine is stopped by means of the idle stop. The control device is configured to restart the engine when a voltage of the power-storage device decreases below a lower-limit value after the engine is stopped by means of the idle stop, and stop the engine again when a specified requirement for determining a sufficient recovery of the voltage of the power-storage device by means of the engine's restart is met.
