Claim 0:
1. A device, comprising:
a plurality of battery cells; and
a controller connected to the plurality of battery cells, wherein the controller comprises at least two direct current (DC) output poles, at least two alternating current (AC) output poles, and a plurality of switches configurable to control respective voltage outputs of the plurality of battery cells, and wherein the controller:
selectively varies output from the plurality of battery cells,
controls, using the plurality of switches, respective battery cells of the plurality of battery cells to selectively separately provide negative output voltage, positive output voltage, and no output voltage, and
concurrently provide at least one DC output voltage by the at least two direct current (DC) output poles, and at least one AC output voltage by the at least two alternating current (AC) output poles based on the controlling.
