A vehicle power system may include a vehicle power source configured to output a first voltage, and batteries, each battery configured to provide a second voltage. The vehicle power system may also include switches coupled between the batteries, and a controller coupled to the switches. The controller may be configured to place the switches in a first mode of operation so that the batteries are coupled in parallel and receive a charge from the vehicle power source, and place the switches in a second mode of operation so that the batteries are coupled in series and provide a combined voltage greater than the first voltage and the second voltage, the combined voltage driving a load.
