METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR BATTERY CHARACTERISTIC CONVERSION

摘要

A battery characteristic converter (300) comprises an interface to a battery (306) and to an electronic device to be powered with energy supplied by the battery (306). The interface to the battery and the interface to the electronic device are connected using a bidirectional voltage ratio converter (302). The bidirectional voltage ratio converter (302) is controlled by a transfer function module (304) so that the characteristics at the interface to the electronic device are adapted to the electronic device, independently of the battery characteristics. Energy flows to the electronic device to power the electronic device or from the electronic device to the battery to charge the battery, depending on a comparison of the characteristics at the interfaces.
