Abstract

A portable and lightweight power converter adapted to power a portable electronic device, and in addition, which includes a high power battery adapted to provide an output DC voltage to operate and/or charge a portable electronic device when no source power is present. Advantageously, the power converter includes converter circuitry as well as a high power battery packaged as an extremely small device, and further configured to charge a battery of a portable electronic device multiple times with recharging. The converter may further include charging circuitry configured to charge the converter battery when input power is connected.
