(User Info)

Perhaps you should investigate Buck Converters.  You can Google same to find out how they work, but basically you channel the output dc current into an inductor for half a clock cycle and then during the second half as the inductor current collapses it is channeled to the battery.  Another nice thing made possible by the modern diode.  There has been talk about these things here, but I haven't seen any schematics (here).
