<p>An energy management system for a motor vehicle has a first voltage supply terminal 205 having a first nominal voltage 12V and a second voltage supply terminal 290 having a second nominal voltage 36V. At least one of the first and second voltage supply terminals has a battery. A universal bi-directional DC-DC convener 200 is coupled to exchange energy between first and second voltage supply terminals. A third voltage supply terminal 280 in the form of a start aid post for connecting jumper leads to exchange energy between an electrical system of an external vehicle or a battery charger. The energy exchanged between the first and second voltage supply terminals and the third voltage supply terminal is independent of the voltage and polarity of the external vehicle electrical system or battery charger. Either of the first or second voltage supply terminals can supply power to both the other terminal and the third terminal.</p> |
