1. An inductive power transfer (IPT) power controller, comprising:
a first capacitor;
a first inductor in series with the first capacitor;
a second inductor in operable communication with the first inductor;
a second capacitor in series with the second inductor;
a connection configured to be connected to a converter, the connection being in operable communication with the first capacitor;
a processor; and
a machine-readable medium in operable communication with the processor and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, perform at least one algorithm that uses Boolean operators to vary positive energy injections and negative energy injections to give a plurality of discrete charging levels of the IPT power controller.
