AC Battery Prototype
- 8 module system
- Storage per module
˃ lead-acid battery (12 V, 7 Ah) ˃ aluminum electrolytic capacitor (1 mF) ˃ low-impedance ceramic capacitor (200 µF)
- Switch update rate = 30
kHz; average module switching frequency = 3.75 kHz

Output Quality & Balancing
- High-quality output
- Total harmonic distortion < 5%
- –86 dB spurious-free dynamic
range
- Excellent long-term balancing
- Tested 5 hour operation with
variable load
- Module voltage std. dev. < 77
mV (median = 22 mV)
