Claim 15:
16. A method comprising:
controlling, by a controller in a manner that causes a charger to convert current from a power source into power at a battery interface and a voltage at an auxiliary system interface, a first plurality of switching transistors and a second plurality of switching transistors included in a converter; and
controlling, by the controller in a manner that causes the charger to convert the power from the battery interface into the voltage at the auxiliary system interface, the first plurality of switching transistors and the second plurality of switching transistors,, wherein the charger comprises:
the second plurality of switching transistors coupled between the battery interface and a secondary winding of the transformer,
the auxiliary system interface coupled to an auxiliary winding of the transformer,
a rectifier coupled between the charging interface and the first plurality of switching transistors, comprising an intermediate bus capacitor coupled to the first plurality of switching transistors; and
wherein the converter comprises:
a primary bus capacitor coupled between the second plurality of switching transistors and the battery interface; and
an auxiliary bus capacitor coupled between auxiliary winding and the auxiliary system interface.
