Multi-mode battery charger

A multi-mode battery charger for a vehicle comprising:

• a controller for being electrically coupled to a plurality of charging systems, each charging system being configured to provide a first power from an external power source and to convert the first power into a second power that is suitable for storage on at least one battery on the vehicle, wherein the controller is further configured to be electrically coupled to a single isolator circuit for each of the plurality of charging systems, and wherein the first power is passed through the single isolator circuit only once for each charging system,
• wherein the plurality of charging systems comprise an inductive charging system, a conductive charging system, and a direct current (DC) quick charging system, and
• wherein the inductive charging system includes a receiver and a power rectifier positioned on the vehicle for providing the second power directly to the battery.
