Original Abstract Submitted
a reconfigurable battery pack can include a plurality of cell stacks; a plurality of charger ports each adapted to couple to a respective charger, the plurality of charger ports including a high voltage charger port and a plurality of low voltage charger ports each corresponding to one of the plurality of cell stacks; a low voltage load port adapted to couple to one or more loads; a plurality of switches corresponding to each cell stack and allowing the cell stacks to be selectively connected for series charging at a relatively higher voltage from the high voltage charger port and to be selectively connected to the low voltage load port for discharging at a relatively lower voltage; and a battery pack controller that operates the plurality of switches responsive to signals received from at least one of a charger and the plurality of cell stacks.
