  • Integrated charger and integrated charger process
    Patent number: 11177670
    Abstract: An aircraft-based power system includes a charger system that includes a charger controller and a charger circuit. The charger system is further configured to connect to a ground-based power source and the charger system is further configured to deliver power from the ground-based power source to the charger circuit. The charger circuit is configured to be controlled by the charger controller and the charger controller is configured to control the charger circuit consistent with a charging protocol. The charger system is further configured to charge a battery system that includes a plurality of battery cells with the charger circuit consistent with the charging protocol.
