US Patent:

7256516, Aug 14, 2007

Filed:

Jul 10, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/616542

Inventors:

William D. Buchanan - Azusa CA, US
Joseph F. Mohos - Burbank CA, US
Wally E. Rippel - Altadena CA, US

Assignee:

Aerovironment Inc. - Monrovia CA

International Classification:

H02J 7/04

US Classification:

307 62, 307 82, 320109

Abstract:

A charging system for simultaneously charging the batteries of a plurality of battery powered vehicles. The charging includes one or more DC-DC power converters having one or more charging ports configured to plug into the batteries. The DC-DC power converters are each configured to selectively connect to more than one charging port to selectively provide for higher port power levels. The DC-DC power converters connect to an AC rectifier through a DC bus. The AC rectifier connects to an AC power source having a limited power rating. The AC charging system also has a controller that controls the operation of the DC-DC power converters such that the total power draw on the AC rectifier does not exceed the power rating. The system is further configured such that the DC-DC power converters can drain selected batteries to obtain power for charging other batteries, thus allowing for batteries to be cycled.
