  • Alternating battery power supply system with inter-battery charging and rate of discharge management
    Patent number: 9214826
    Abstract: A battery power supply system using a DC-DC step-up converter to increase voltage supplied from a battery in a load state. Output from the DC-DC step-up converter powers a load and supplies charging to a battery in a charge state. Each of a plurality of batteries is cycled between load and charge states. Thus, each battery supplies power to the DC-DC step-up converter to power the load and charging for another battery. Additionally, each battery receives a charge from the DC-DC step-up converter. A microcontroller and relays control the states and switching.
