Claim 15:
16. An apparatus comprising:
supply means for providing an input voltage, the supply means coupled to a first node;
load means for accepting an output voltage, the load means coupled to a second node; and
charging means for transferring power from the supply means to the load means by selectively: providing a first voltage as the output voltage in accordance with a first mode or a second voltage as the output voltage in accordance with a second mode, the first voltage being greater than or less than the input voltage, the second voltage being substantially equal to the input voltage;
other supply means for providing another input voltage, the other supply means coupled to the second node; and
other load means for accepting another output voltage, the other load means coupled to the first node,
wherein the charging means is configured to transfer power from the other supply means to the other load means by selectively providing a third voltage as the other output voltage in accordance with a third mode or a fourth voltage as the other output voltage in accordance with a fourth mode, the third voltage being greater than or less than the other input voltage, the fourth voltage being substantially equal to the other input voltage.
