The purpose of this study is to use an LLC resonant tank to extend battery life. The design of LLC tanks and their practical evaluation in an LLC multi-resonant converter are examined in this paper. Battery life is increased by the LLC multi-resonant DC-DC converter by reducing frequency current ripples. To increase the power factor, a bridgeless Cuk converter is also used. To increase power factor and reduce conduction losses, the Cuk converter uses discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Applications involving battery charging are best suited for the suggested model. The system produces a 42 – 24 V controlled DC voltage output. A power rating of 650 W is supported. Switching losses are decreased with the incorporation of LLC topology. High efficiency is guaranteed by the converter design. The output is stabilized via frequency modulation techniques. The method improves battery longevity and performance. The study sheds light on resonant power conversion methods. The system provides dependable and effective battery charging, the LLC and Cuk converters guarantee less electromagnetic interference and the suggested design reduces strain on power devices. The design contributes to improved overall power conversion efficiency. The experimental validation validates the efficacy of the topology; and future research will concentrate on additional optimization for electric vehicle applications.
