The power electronics also integrate a DC/DC converter, which converts energy from the high-voltage battery to 12 volts to supply the 12-volt electrical system. The 12-volt battery is also mounted at the rear. Bottom: On recharge, energy will flow from the fuel cell through the tri-port converter to the battery.
