Technical Field
The present disclosure relates generally to a portable charger that may be used to charge a traction battery of an electric vehicle.
Background
An electrically powered vehicle differs from a conventional motor vehicle in that the electrically powered vehicle uses one or more electric machines that are powered by a traction battery to selectively drive. The electric machine may drive the electric vehicle instead of or in addition to the internal combustion engine. Example electric vehicles include Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs).
The traction battery is a relatively high voltage battery that selectively powers the electric machine and other electrical loads of the motorized vehicle. The traction battery may include battery arrays, each battery array including a plurality of battery cells that store energy. Some motorized vehicles, such as PHEVs, may charge the traction battery from an external power source.
