Abstract
A battery pack including a first subset of battery cells and a second subset of battery cells, set of switches, a DC output port and an AC output port. The battery pack may provide both a DC output signal at the DC output port and an AC output signal at the AC output port by selectively activating the switches of the set of switches. The battery pack may couple the first subset of battery cells and the second subset of battery cells in a parallel configuration or a series configuration.
