    摘要: An example method for charging a first and a second battery that can be implemented by a charging apparatus includes: detecting that the first battery is coupled to a first interface of the charging apparatus for the first battery; detecting that a second battery of the first battery is coupled to a second interface of the charging apparatus; receiving, via a connection between the charging apparatus and a port of a host power source, an indication of a magnitude of an input current that the host power source is capable of delivering to the charging apparatus over the connection; comparing the magnitude of the input current to a threshold magnitude; responsive to the comparing, determining a charging order in which to charge the first battery and the second battery using the input current from the host power source; and charging the first battery and the second battery in accordance with the charging order.

    摘要: A battery power system for powering at least one electric motor. The system comprises a main battery and an intermediate storage device electrically coupled to the main battery such that the intermediate storage device can be charged by the main battery, and the intermediate storage device being configured to supply power to the electric motor. The intermediate storage device is constructed and configured to accept and deliver charge at a higher rate than the main battery whilst having a lower energy storage capacity than the main battery.
