1. A system for energizing an energy storage device, the system comprising:
- an electric power source;
an energy storage system in communication with the electric power source, the energy storage system including a first energy storage device and a second energy storage device, the first and second energy storage devices being in parallel; and
a switching time control multiplexer configured to supply a total charging current from the electric power source to the energy storage system in which each storage device is charged in an alternating manner with a predetermined frequency, the total charging current being less than a total parallel charging current required for parallel charging, the predetermined frequency defining a first time during which the first energy storage device is charged and a second time during which the second storage device is charged.

Abstract
A system for energizing an energy storage device includes an electric power source, an energy system in communication with the electric power source, and a switching time control multiplexer. The energy storage system includes at least two parallel energy storage devices. The switching time control multiplexer is configured to supply total charging current from the electric power source to the energy storage system such that each storage device is charged in an alternating manner with the total charging current being less than a total charging current required for parallel charging.
