Abstract
An onboard charging system for charging from a power source may include an energy storage system. A connector may be configured to couple the onboard charging system with the power source. A charging circuit may be electrically connected between the connector and the energy storage system. A converter may be electrically connected in the charging circuit between the connector and the energy storage system. A rectifier may be electrically connected in the charging circuit between the connector and the converter. Output of an inductive receiver may be electrically connected with the charging circuit between the connector and the converter. The converter may control the delivery of voltage and current to the energy storage system from the power source and from the inductive receiver.
