Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to power systems and methods. One such power system includes an adapter that produces a power output. A converter stage receives the power output and in turn provides a regulated output. The regulated output is delivered to a battery and to a DC—DC component.
Claims18
A power system, comprising:
- a power adapter capable of producing a power output;
- a converter stage coupled to receive the power output and generate a regulated output;
- a DC—DC component coupled to receive the regulated output;
- and
- a battery removably coupled to receive the regulated output.
2 more elements
A power system comprising:
- an adapter capable of producing input power;
- a converter coupled to receive the input power from the adapter;
- a plurality of batteries coupled to the converter;
