Abstract
A charger includes an alternating current (AC) voltage booster coupled to an input voltage; and a DC regulator coupled to the AC voltage booster to charge a battery. An energy supply system includes a solar panel to generate an input voltage from solar energy; a battery; an alternating current (AC) voltage booster coupled to the solar panel to receive the input voltage; and a DC regulator coupled to the AC voltage booster to charge the battery.
