<p>Provided is a combined battery charger and battery equalizer (230) for equalizing a first battery bank (200) and charging a second battery bank (210), respectively. The combined battery charger and battery equalizer (230) includes a buck-boost power converting circuit (232) that is configured to convert a received electrical voltage into, either a battery equalization voltage, or a battery charging voltage. The buck-boost power converting circuit (232) is connected to an output switch (233) which is configured to enable output of either the equalization voltage level to a battery equalizer output connector (235), or the battery charging voltage to a battery charging output connector (234). Also provided is a combined battery charging and battery equalization system wherein a voltage source (221) is connected to a combined battery equalizer and battery charger (230). The combined battery equalizer and battery charger (230) is configured to convert an electrical voltage received from the voltage source (221) into either a battery equalization voltage or a battery charging voltage. The combined battery equalizer and battery charger (230) is further connected to either a positive pole (+) of a starter battery bank (210) for enabling controlled battery charging of the starter battery bank (210) or it is connected to a voltage reference point (203, n) of a service battery bank (200) for enabling controlled battery equalization of the service battery bank (200).</p> |
