The invention relates to a DC /
DC converter (1) for charging a battery (4) in a boost mode, wherein the DC /
DC converter (1) has a primary side (P) and a
secondary side (S), wherein on the primary side (P) and on the
secondary side (S) a
capacitance (CX_P, CX_S) is electrically coupled between a respective positive potential (HV+1, HV+2) and a respective
negative potential (HV-1, HV-2), wherein - the primary side (P) and the
secondary side (S) each have at least two half-bridges (HB1, HB2, HB3, HB4), each with a high-side switch designed as a
semiconductor switch (S1, S3, S5, S7, D) and a low-side switch designed as a
semiconductor switch (S2, S4, S6, S8), - LC resonant circuits (2.1, 2.2) designed as series resonant circuits are arranged between center taps of the half-bridges (HB1, HB2) on the primary side (P) and center taps of the half-bridges (HB3, HB4) on the secondary side (S), wherein exactly one of the potentials (HV+1, HV-1) of the primary side (P) is galvanically connected to the opposite pole potential (HV-2, HV+2) of the secondary side (S), wherein the other potential (HV-1, HV+1) of the primary side (P) is galvanically connected to a same pole
battery terminal of the battery (4).
