Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments include apparatuses, systems, and methods to provide both AC and DC power for charging battery systems. In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus includes a coupler receivable by a power input of a rechargeable battery system, where the coupler includes: alternating current (AC) terminals configured to electrically engage AC input terminals of the power input and direct current (DC) terminals configured to electrically engage DC input terminals of the power input; a cable that includes a plurality of sets of conductors including a set of AC conductors coupled to the AC terminals and a set of DC conductors coupled to the DC terminals, wherein the set of AC conductors is configured to be selectively coupled to an AC power source and the set of DC conductors is configured to be selectively coupled to a DC power source.
