For use with a battery plant coupled to a source of electrical power and having a power bus coupled to a load, the battery plant including a battery string coupled across a pair of rails of said power bus, a battery management system, method of operation therefor and battery plant employing the same. In one embodiment, the battery management system includes a DC/DC converter, couplable in series with the battery string, adapted to condition a voltage provided to the battery string as a function of a characteristic of the battery string. The battery management system also includes a switching circuit, coupled across the DC/DC converter, adapted to selectively decouple the DC/DC converter from the battery string thereby allowing the battery string to power the load.
For use with a battery plant coupled to a source of electrical power and having a power bus coupled to a load, said battery plant including a battery string coupled across a pair of rails of said power bus, a battery management system, comprising:
