Abstract
A charging system for charging multiple portable devices includes transformers, branch converters and converters. Each transformer is specific to a different power supply. The branch converters and converters, specific to different portable devices, can be connected in such a way to transfer power to the various portable devices. Connections are standardized within the system giving it a modular design.
