CENTER-TAPPED BATTERY AND POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR SAME

摘要

A battery for a power distribution system includes a cell assembly having a positive terminal and a negative terminal that together provide a relative battery DC voltage. A neutral tap is electrically connected to the cell assembly between the positive and negative terminals, splitting the voltage into positive and negative voltages. The positive terminal is at a positive DC voltage greater than the neutral tap. The negative voltage is at a negative DC voltage less than the neutral tap. The relative battery DC voltage is greater than each of the relative voltages between the neutral tap and each of the positive and negative DC voltages.
