Abstract

The exponential growth of energy storage systems and electric mobility requires highly efficient, reliable, and power- dense battery charging infrastructure. Central to these systems is the DC-DC converter, which must accommodate wide battery voltage variations across different states of charge (SOC). This review paper systematically categorizes and evaluates advanced DC-DC converter topologies utilized in battery chargers, rang- ing from fundamental non-isolated architectures (Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost) and high-order networks (SEPIC, Cuk, Zeta) to galvanically isolated systems (Flyback, Forward, Push-Pull, DAB, and LLC Resonant). Furthermore, this paper provides a rig- orous mathematical analysis of closed-loop control challenges, specifically addressing the destabilizing Right-Half-Plane (RHP) zero prevalent in continuous conduction mode (CCM). By syn- thesizing compensation techniques, topological tradeoffs, and power-transfer mathematics, this review establishes a definitive framework for optimizing modern battery charging systems.

Index Terms—Battery Charger, DC-DC Converter, Dual Active Bridge (DAB), LLC Resonant, SEPIC, Cuk, Flyback, Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM), Loop Compensation, Right-Half-Plane (RHP) Zero.
